Abstract

Percutaneous interventions for mitral valve disease represent both the oldest and the newest of catheter interventions. Balloon mitral valvuloplasty was among the first effective catheter therapies for valvular heart disease. The technique and device approach was initially reported by Inoue in 1982 and, remarkably, is virtually unchanged between then and now. Conversely, novel catheter therapies to repair mitral regurgitation are now in their infancy, with only the earliest human experience. This article details the spectrum of these therapies.

Keywords: Balloon mitral valvuloplasty; Mitral regurgitation; Mitral valve interventions; Percutaneous interventions.
