Improvements in procedural technique and intra-procedural imaging have progressively
expanded the indications of percutaneous edge-to-edge technique. To date in higher …

Mitral valve disease affects more than 4 million people in the United States and it is the
second most prevalent valvulopathy in Europe. The gold standard of treatment in these …

Objectives The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the
MitraClip G4 in the reduction of mitral regurgitation (MR). Background The next-generation …

Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair using MitraClip has been recently
established as a treatment option for patients with heart failure and functional mitral …

Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is a viable alternative to surgery in patients
with severe mitral regurgitation and high surgical risk. Yet the specific group of patients who …

Recent advances in transcatheter interventions have refueled the interest in utilizing
invasive hemodynamics in the catheterization laboratory. The authors review contemporary …

Background Prediction of the clinical response to transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER)
remains a vexing challenge. Objectives This study sought to examine the relation between …

Mitral regurgitation is frequently associated with ventricular dysfunction and carries a high
mortality. Guideline-directed medical therapy, surgical mitral valve repair or replacement …

Background Recurrence of mitral regurgitation (MR) after surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR)
varies and may require reoperation. Redo mitral valve surgery can be technically …

Evidence supports careful analysis of the valve area and left ventricular function in addition
