Transcatheter mitral valve replacement: A frontier in cardiac intervention.

As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become routine, device manufacturers and investigational cardiologists have set their sights on the mitral valve. Although transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) poses several technical challenges, they appear to be surmountable, and work is proceeding. Here we review the various devices being developed and preliminary results of trial...

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement With a Novel Dual Stent Bioprosthesis.

There has been great interest in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) as a potential therapy for high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation, with several distinct device systems undergoing first-in-man clinical studies. The Intrepid TMVR (Medtronic Inc, Redwood City, CA), designed for transapical delivery, comprises 2 interconnected self-expanding nitinol stents: (1) an inner ...
