When the anterior leaflet gets in the way: mitral leaflet modification before TMVR

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: C. Allen, N. Buzzatti

Summary

This session addresses the intricacies of mitral leaflet modification techniques prior to transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). It features innovative approaches such as LAMPOON-assisted valve-in-ring replacement, balloon-assisted leaflet translocation, and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by mitral annular calcification.
