Mitral valve replacement and repair

The review aims to address the unmet needs in heart failure (HF) management, particularly in patients where structural heart disease coexists with HF and limits the effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Yohei Ohno provides his takeaways from the results of the MATTERHORN trial presented by Volker Rudolph at the ESC Congress 2024 in London.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the RESHAPE-HF2 trial presented by Stefan Anker at the ESC Congress 2024 in London and simultaneously published in the NEJM.

The RESHAPE-HF 2 trial is a prospective randomised control trial comparing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TEER) and guideline-directed medical therapy to guideline-directed medical...

Jonathan Curio provides his take on the MitrAI score study which was presented by Luigi Biasco at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

What was new and hot in interventional cardiology at #ESCCongress 2024!

This case report demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of mitral TEER with a robotic-assisted approach, using the Abbott MitraClip G4 system, potentially paving the way for future applications in structural heart and endovascular interventions.

Alex Sticchi provides his take on the trials which were presented at New York Valves 2024, offering a concise summary, a short description and final thoughts. 

Ottavio Alfieri and Frederick St Goar received the award for their important work on developing new opportunities for expanding indications of interventions targeting mitral regurgitation in patients with heart failure, with benefits including mortality reduction in selected cases. Find out more about the achievements of this...

In this EuroPCR 2024 session, explore a transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair case, delve into discussions backed by simulation, evidence, and real-world cases to understand atraumatic clasp and closure techniques and predictable implant release. Additionally, gain insights into real-world evidence for tricuspid TEER from the EuroTR trial...

This session examines various complications that can arise during mitral valve interventions, such as iatrogenic aortic root perforation, unexpected leakage, and other challenging scenarios. The presenters share their experiences in managing these complications and the strategies they employed to address them. The session emphasizes the importance...
