Our multidisciplinary cardiovascular team collaborates on mitral valve repair, transcatheter technologies, mitral valve replacement, and follow-up treatment so patients can get all their care for ...

Valve insufficiency or regurgitation happens more often in the mitral valve. When a valve leaks, the leaflets don’t close completely and some blood leaks backward rather than all of the blood flowing ...

PARIS -- Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) could be the better choice over conservative therapy for secondary (or functional) mitral regurgitation (MR), according to researchers settling ...

Background Secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) often develops or persists following left-sided valve surgery. However, its ...

The mitral valve is inside a person’s heart. A person with mitral valve disease may require mitral valve repair surgery as a treatment. A person’s heart contains four chambers. The two upper chambers ...

In patients undergoing aortic-valve or mitral-valve replacement, either a mechanical or biologic prosthesis is used. Biologic prostheses have been increasingly favored despite limited evidence ...

While moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) may increase early mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), late mortality appears unaffected, with MR ...

Aortic valve replacement typically requires about 8 weeks for initial recovery, though heavy lifting may be off-limits for up to 12 weeks. Minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement ...

Mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are two conditions involving backward leakage of blood through a heart valve when a ventricle contracts. People may experience either or both ...
