Abstract

Mitral valve disease prevalence is on the rise worldwide, affecting an estimated 2% of the general population. Novel transcatheter mitral valve replacement technologies are being developed and may provide a viable and safe option in patients who are deemed otherwise not suitable candidates for conventional mitral valve surgery. This article reviews these devices and describes trials of first in-human use.
