Description

Mitral regurgitation (MR) affects millions of patients worldwide. It is a progressive disease that worsens when left untreated. MR leads to compensatory remodeling of the left ventricle, resulting in reduced functional capacity, poor quality of life, repeat hospitalizations, and eventually death from heart failure. Open, arrested heart surgery has until now been the therapeutic treatment of choice. However, many high-risk patients cannot tolerate traditional heart surgery and continue to suffer from severe MR.

In this exciting new title, international key opinion leaders discuss in-depth the clinical application of percutaneous mitral valve therapies for this sub-sect of patients, focusing on the MitraClip device. These new therapeutic developments will come to form an essential component of the interventional cardiologists’ armamentarium in treating MR patients and will be of interest to every practicing cardiologist. Key topics include:

  • An overview of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the mitral valvular complex and MR
  • EVEREST trial outcomes, and the development of percutaneous edge-to-edge repair
  • Updates on the global experience with this new therapy
  • Patient selection and the role of percutaneous therapies for high-risk patients
  • Echocardiographic guidance, including practical tips for the use of transesophageal echocardiography during a procedure
  • Step-by-step techniques, plus tips and tricks for getting the best results for your patients
  • Special considerations for treating the returning MR repair patient
  • Discussion of the European experience since CE approval
  • Future directions in percutaneous mitral valve therapies
