TMVR for the Treatment of Mitral Regurgitation: A State-of-the-Art Review

Mitral regurgitation is the most common valve disease worldwide. Despite its wide success in inoperable or high-risk surgical patients, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair remains limited by some anatomic features and the non-negligible rate of significant residual regurgitation. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement has emerged as a viable alternative that promises to overcome these issues, but its development has been progressing slowly. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of transcatheter mitral valve replacement, including patient selection, procedural techniques, and currently available outcomes.
