ABSTRACT PRESENTATION

Percutaneous Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Repair/Replacement

This is a minimally invasive heart procedure aimed at treating the mitral or tricuspid valves, which control blood flow between the heart chambers. Problems like valve leakage (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis) can disrupt blood flow and strain the heart.

How it works:
  • A catheter (thin tube) is inserted through a vein in the leg and guided to the heart.
  • For mitral and tricuspid valves, different devices can either repair the valve or replace it entirely.
  • This avoids the need for open-heart surgery, reducing recovery time and risks.
When it’s needed:
  • In patients with severe valve regurgitation (backflow of blood) or stenosis (narrowing).
  • For those who are not candidates for traditional open-heart surgery.
Benefits:
  • Restores proper blood flow.
  • Reduces symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
  • Minimizes complications compared to traditional surgery.
