Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex disorder requiring the understanding of mitral anatomy and pathophysiology. With the increasing patient population of mitral regurgitation, both functional and degenerative types, and our desire for less invasive treatment approaches, transcatheter mitral valve therapies (TMVT) have emerged. After more than a decade of advancements, development in TMVT still…

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…

There has been a recent explosion in the field of transcatheter aortic and pulmonary valve replacements, but the atrio-ventricular valves have lagged behind for various reasons with the tricuspid valve undoubtedly the least treated valve of the four. Despite the fact that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can result in significant symptoms, patients are rarely referred for isolated surgical tricuspid…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries and nearly one-third of the patients with isolated, native valve disease are diagnosed with significant MR, according to the Euro Heart Survey on Valvular Heart Disease.1
Mitral valve (MV) complex is a very complicated structure which consists of the mitral annulus (MA), valve leaflets, papillary…

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…

Patients with multivalvular disease (MVD) can present with a variety of valve pathologies and combinations, often requiring a complex treatment strategy. Both the Euro Heart Survey and the EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease Registry (presented at the European Society of Cardiology [ESC] 2018 meeting) demonstrated that more than one-fifth of patients with native valve…
