Reconstructive valve surgery encompasses a comprehensive system of valve analysis and related techniques based on three basic principles as described by Alain Carpentier and colleagues: restoring or preserving the full mobility of the leaflets, creating a large surface of leaflet coaptation and remodelling the annulus to provide an optimal and stable orifice area.1 Mitral valve regurgitation (MR)…

Catheter-based interventions for mitral regurgitation are currently under clinical evaluation. They represent the natural evolution of surgical treatment, which has been characterised by a progressive decline of invasiveness from the traditional open-heart and open-chest procedures to minimally invasive video-assisted procedures (including robotic technology), with closed-heart solutions using…

Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency have no effective medical treatments and carry a dismal prognosis if left untreated. Since the first aortic valve replacement in 1960, hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and improved by this procedure. Until recently, surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) was the only effective therapy for severe aortic valve stenosis. The recent…

The principal therapies for valvular heart disease are surgical. Catheter-based treatment, traditionally, has had a limited role in treating stenotic lesions of the mitral, pulmonary and aortic valves. Recently, however, percutaneous valvular intervention has drastically improved, secondary to advances in technology and innovative treatment strategies. With the proven feasibility of percutaneous…
