Abstract

Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is a minimally invasive treatment option for selected patients with moderate to severe or severe mitral regurgitation. Although transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair offers a significant step forward in the management of mitral regurgitation, the rate of procedural-related complications is not trivial. High-quality periprocedural imaging is important for optimal patient selection and procedural success. In this review, we present a step-by-step approach of the recommended echocardiographic views for transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

Keywords: Echocardiography; Heart failure; Mitral regurgitation.
