Transcatheter mitral valve therapies for degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation

Abstract Nowadays, Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVRe) technologies are rapidly expanding with the future potential to be adopted as a valuable alternative to surgery in selected patients. TMVRe devices can be distinguished based on the targeted component of the Mitral Valve (MV) apparatus and classified into leaflet repair, direct/indirect annuloplasty, chordal repair and ventricular/chamber remodeling. The present chapter will analyze the broad spectrum of these technologies.
