Severe aortic stenosis is a significant source of morbidity and mortality among the aging population. Due to prohibitive surgical risk, many patients are not candidates for surgery. Therefore, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has emerged as a promising technology for treating this group of high risk patients. With increasing experience, this procedure can be performed successfully and safely in selected high risk patients. Nevertheless, before widespread use and application to lower risk patients the results of randomized studies are mandatory. Primary (degenerative) and secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation (MR) is an important cause of heart failure. The double orifice technique of mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system is one of many transcatheter approaches to treat significant MR in patients at high risk for conventional surgery. This technique is effective in reducing MR severity in patients suffering from both degenerative and functional MR. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is an interventional treatment for adolescents and young adults with congenital heart disease. After corrective or palliative operation in infancy or early childhood, some patients regularly need reoperations for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. In the last decade, PPVI has evolved as an alternative treatment option with much less morbidity compared to repeated surgery.
