Severe mitral regurgitation in a patient at high risk for surgery with a suboptimal anatomy for M-TEER: what other options can we find?
04 Feb 2026
A 78-year-old male presents with recurrent hospitalisations for HFpEF and severe degenerative MR. Multimodality imaging reveals fibro-calcific leaflet disease, restricted motion, and a short posterior leaflet, making him a suboptimal candidate for M-TEER and prompting consideration of transcatheter mitral valve replacement. How would you treat?
