Mitral regurgitation (MR) affects millions of patients worldwide.
It is a progressive condition that can worsen when left untreated,
possibly leading to compensatory remodeling of the left ventricle.
This can result in reduced functional capacity, poor quality of
life, repeat hospitalizations, and even death from heart failure.
Open, arrested heart surgery has until now been the therapeutic
treatment of choice. However, many high-risk patients cannot
tolerate traditional heart surgery and continue to suffer from
severe MR. In Percutaneous Mitral Leaflet Repair: MitraClip Therapy
for Mitral Regurgitation, international experts discuss the
clinical application of percutaneous mitral valve therapies for
this subsect of patients, focusing on the MitraClip device. These
new therapeutic developments will form an essential component of
the interventional cardiologists' armamentarium in treating MR
patients and will be of interest to every practicing cardiologist.
Key topics include: An overview of the anatomy and pathophysiology
of the mitral valvular complex and MR EVEREST trial outcomes, and
the development of percutaneous edge-to-edge repair Updates on the
global experience with this new therapy Patient selection and the
role of percutaneous therapies for high-risk patients
Echocardiographic guidance, including practical tips for the use of
transesophageal echocardiography during a procedure Step-by-step
techniques, plus tips and tricks for getting the best results for
your patients Special considerations for treating the returning MR
repair patient Discussion of the European experience since CE
