A Narrative Review for Cardiac Anesthesiologists of the 2019 Expert Consensus on Operator and Institutional Recommendations for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Intervention

摘要

US Food and Drug Administration approval of the edge-to-edge clip repair device (MitraClip; Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) in 2013 led to wide adoption of the device for treatment of severe primary mitral regurgitation in patients unsuitable for surgery. Demonstration of favorable outcomes in the setting of secondary mitral regurgitation by the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT) trial in 2019 provided an additional impetus to the transcatheter mitral interventional program.
