Transcatheter Edge to Edge Mitral Valve Repair

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

An increase in the aging population has lead to an increase in the burden of heart failure and the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR). Surgical intervention for primary MR remains the gold standard of care. Minimally invasive mitral valve therapies for both primary and secondary mitral regurgitation are likely to grow in high-risk patients. A heart team approach is a well-established concept in managing such patients. Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair using MitraClip (Abbott Structural Heart, Santa Clara, CA) is increasingly utilized in such patients [1].
