Content Inside:
Mitral regurgitation is a common valvular abnormality that generally increases in prevalence and severity with age. Current treatment of severe mitral regurgitation requires the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and mitral valve repair or replacement. Mitral valve surgery has a significant attendant morbidity and mortality. Currently, there are two methods in development to treat mitral regurgitation by percutaneous methods. These involve a modified Alfieri technique using an edge-to- edge repair, and posterior mitral annuloplasty via the coronary sinus. Human trials will soon begin.
