Abstract

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in the Western world. Surgical repair is the gold standard for the treatment of degenerative MR in low-risk patients. Given the rising number of patients with functional MR and higher operative risk due to relevant comorbidities and increasing age, interventional approaches to repair or replace diseased mitral valves are on the rise. However, the complex anatomy and physiology of the mitral valve and its adjacent valve apparatus bear major challenges. To date, only the MitraClip device has been used in a large number of patients; however, several other devices and systems specifically targeted at different underlying pathologies of MR are currently under development. In addition to valve repair, the first steps toward mitral valve replacement have been taken. The present article reviews the current state of the art of interventional approaches to mitral valve disease and its future perspectives.
