Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR)
TMVR, also known as transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a way of replacing the mitral valve in the heart without the need for conventional open-heart surgery.
TMVR transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a treatment for mitral valve stenosis (tight mitral valve) or mitral valve regurgitation (leaky mitral valve) or a mix of the two. TMVR transcatheter mitral valve replacement has been established for treating previously operated patients who have failed bio prosthetic valve or ring. But for the native mitral valve, it is done in selected patients with suitable anatomy. Over time TMVR will likely replace mitral valve replacement open heart surgery in the future as the technology improves and the outcomes are proved.
TMVR
TMVR or transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a way of replacing the mitral valve in the heart without the need for conventional open-heart surgery. TMVR transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a treatment for mitral valve stenosis (tight mitral valve) or mitral valve regurgitation (leaky mitral valve) or a mix of the two. The mitral valve is a highly complex structure, the competency and function of which relies on the harmonious action of its components.
For people who are at high risk for open heart surgery, transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) provides a newer, minimally invasive option for treating the defective mitral valve. It is commonly done for patients who have had prior mitral valve surgery and failed surgical bioprosthesis (Valve in valve procedures)
