Transcatheter mitral valve repair
Transcatheter mitral valve repair
- Transcatheter mitral valve repair is a minimally invasive approach based on the "edge to edge" suture technique.With the advantages of no thoracotomy, no need for extracorporeal circulation and less surgical trauma, a special mitral valve clamp is implanted through the apical and the middle part of the anterior and posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, which can reduce mitral regurgitation and improve the clinical symptoms of the patients. The operation time is short and the success rate is high, bringing good news to the patients who cannot tolerate traditional thoracotomy.
