Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: A state of art and strategic principles / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR) is known as M-TEER. Its strengths include precise targets and fewer implants; simple and clear principles for catheterization; originating from dependable medical concepts and broad applicability. Furthermore, TEER offers advantages in real-time hemodynamic and effectiveness measurement throughout the procedure over surgical edge-to-edge repair (SEER). When it comes to patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation , M-TEER should aim to deliver more optimum procedural outcomes. In functional mitral regurgitation, a modest transvalvular gradients or moderate residual shunt can be tolerated with M-TEER, which reduces the risk of problems and has no bearing on the patient's prognosis.
