Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair:A state of art and strategic principles
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.
