TMVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a diseased mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is used for patients with severe mitral valve disease, such as mitral regurgitation (leaky valve) or mitral stenosis (narrowed valve), who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
● A thin catheter is inserted, usually through a vein in the leg or a small incision in the chest.
● A replacement valve is delivered to the heart and positioned inside the diseased mitral valve.
● The new valve restores proper blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
● Patients with severe mitral valve disease and high surgical risk.
● Those experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or fluid retention due to valve dysfunction.
● Minimally invasive, avoiding open-heart surgery
● Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
● Relief from symptoms and improved quality of life
● Long-term improvement in heart function
TMVR offers a safe and effective alternative for patients with mitral valve disease, restoring normal valve function and improving daily activities.
