Transcatheter Valve Interventions

Transcatheter Valve Interventions

Guest: Jared Bird, M.D.

Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.

After listening to this podcast, listeners will be able to describe transcatheter treatment options for mitral valve disease, including transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR); identify key echocardiographic and cardiac CT findings used for patient selection and procedural planning; and discuss the evolving role of transcatheter mitral valve interventions in the treatment of mitral regurgitation and other forms of mitral valve disease.

Topics discussed:

• What are TEER and TMVR, and how do these transcatheter mitral valve interventions differ from surgical mitral valve repair and replacement?
• How are transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and cardiac CT used to evaluate patients and plan transcatheter mitral valve procedures?
• Which patients with mitral regurgitation are candidates for TEER, and when might TMVR be a better treatment option?
• What anatomic and clinical factors influence the safety and success of transcatheter mitral valve interventions?
• How might TEER and TMVR shape the future treatment of mitral valve disease?
