Treatment strategies for patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) are changing. Abstract AIMS: Percutaneous repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) by leaflet apposition using a clip deployed via transseptal catheterisation is undergoing evaluation. Percutaneous Balloon Valvuloplasty: A summary of the natural history and pathophysiology of mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation. Mitral Valve Disease: Stenosis and Regurgitation Online Medical Reference. Co-authored by Brian Griffin, MD and Ronan J. Curtin of the Cleveland Clinic. Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are important clinical entities that occur when blood regurgitates from the ventricles to the atria during systole. Mitral valve regurgitation — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, causes, treatment of this heart disorder. Objectives: This investigation sought to determine the feasibility of a novel method of a percutaneous mitral valve repair. The summary of the published interventional procedure on Percutaneous mitral valve leaflet repair for mitral regurgitation. While mitral stenosis and regurgitation traditionally have been addressed by surgical means, both now have emerging percutaneous treatment options.

PERCUTANEOUS MITRAL VALVE REPAIR | CATHLAB DIGEST.
Prospective, multi-center, Phase I study of the Evalve Cardiovascular Valve Repair System (CVRS) in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation. The Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center at Mount Sinai now offers patients the highest percentages of mitral valve repair anywhere in the world. Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. My husband (now 47) was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse about 10 years ago. He has progressed over the past few years from moderate to severe regurgitation. Purpose of review: Transcatheter management of valvular heart disease is an emerging area of intense interest. ‘Edge to edge’ percutaneous mitral valve repair in mitral regurgitation: it can be done but should it be done?
