Transcatheter mitral valve replacement in practice
With the collaboration of the PCR Mitral Focus Group
Summary
This session provides an in-depth overview of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in clinical practice, focusing on patient and anatomical suitability assessments including imaging parameters and risk factors for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It covers anatomical preparation techniques such as leaflet modification, prior clip removal, and septal reduction, and discusses procedural steps alongside clinical outcomes of current TMVR systems.
Learning Objectives
- To understand how to assess patient and anatomical suitability for TMVR, including key imaging parameters and risk factors for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
- To know when and how anatomical preparation techniques (such as leaflet modification, prior clip removal, and septal reduction) should be performed
- To discuss the key procedural steps and clinical outcomes of current TMVR systems
