Mitral and Tricuspid Valves Percutaneous Repair in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure: Panacea, or Pandora's Box?

Abstract

In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, the interventional landscape has recently expanded. New transcatheter approaches are emerging for both mitral and tricuspid secondary (functional) regurgitation. Transcatheter therapies for mitral and tricuspid valve require a more tailored approach than for the aortic valve, because of more heterogeneous clinical scenarios, anatomic features, and mechanisms of valvular lesions.
