PERCUTANEOUS MITRAL VALVE REPAIR.
Valvular heart disease continues to be an important health care problem. ‘Edge to edge’ percutaneous mitral valve repair in mitral regurgitation: it can be done but should it be done? In Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), a synthetic valve is transported to the heart through a small hole made in groin. The FDA today approved the Medtronic Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve and Ensemble Delivery System. It is the first percutaneous valve to receive FDA approval. Mitral valve repair is the surgical treatment of choice for mitral regurgitation. Learn more about it from the nation's top ranked heart center.
