Mastering techniques from basic to complex - TEER for functional mitral regurgitation
Summary
Explore the complexities of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in this PCR Tokyo Valves 2025 session, where experts delve into key anatomical challenges and advanced TEER techniques. Learn why surgery remains the first-line treatment for atrial FMR, particularly when concomitant tricuspid regurgitation is present, and when radiofrequency ablation (RFA) should be prioritized over M-TEER. Gain insights into the impact of disproportionate and atriogenic FMR on treatment response, the need for improved anatomical definitions, and the role of clinical research in refining TEER strategies. This session also highlights the importance of advanced imaging, pressure data, and new device innovations to optimize patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the anatomical challenges of functional mitral regurgitation
