Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common valvular heart disease in the geriatric population across the United States. This patient cohort is multimorbid and often has a prohibitive risk for conventional open-heart surgery. The diverse anatomic pathology of FMR is a complex problem and unfortunately does not have a universal solution. Carillon Mitral Contour System (Cardiac Dimensions, Kirkland, WA, USA) is a new device that provides transcatheter annular remodeling. In this review article, the authors summarize the evidence for the Carillon Mitral Contour System for FMR.
