  • Title: Transcatheter mitral valve regurgitation treatment: State of the art and a glimpse to the future.
    Author: Testa L, Latib A, Montone RA, Bedogni F.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2016 Aug; 152(2):319-27. PubMed ID: 27239007.
    Abstract:
    Since the first transcatheter heart valve implantation in the pulmonary position in 2000 and in the aortic position in 2002, a large number of transcatheter heart valves have reached the clinical arena and thousands of high-risk patients have been treated successfully, in particular those with severe aortic stenosis. In contrast, the experience of transcatheter mitral valve repair or implantation started relatively more recently, and only a few devices are available at the moment. The aim of this review is to describe the different percutaneous systems for the treatment of mitral regurgitation.
