Selection of Ideal Candidates for Percutaneous Mitral Interventions

AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe purpose of this paper is to review the selection of candidates for percutaneous mitral interventions using multimodality cardiovascular imaging.Recent FindingsTranscatheter mitral valve interventions are increasing in frequency. This has led to a paradigm shift in managing mitral valve disease in patients who are at high surgical risk.SummaryHere, we review different cases of mitral valve pathology with a percutaneous approach of mitral valve intervention. The first case reviews patient selection for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the native mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation. The second case reviews flail bioprosthetic leaflet with severe mitral regurgitation and a valve-in-valve approach of intervention. The third case reviews senile calcific mitral valve stenosis with a percutaneous approach of valve in mitral annular calcification.
