Abstract

Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair is an approach for treating mitral regurgitation, which is an alternative for surgery in patients with a high surgical risk. Although the safety and efficacy of the technique have been demonstrated, it is still associated with potentially life-threatening complications. The aim of this paper is to discuss the nature, management, and prevention of the most important procedural complications associated with this procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Die Transkatheter-Edge-to-Edge-Mitralklappenrekonstruktion ist ein minimal-invasiver Ansatz zur Behandlung der Mitralklappeninsuffizienz als mögliche Alternative zur chirurgischen Sanierung bei Patienten mit einem hohen perioperativen Risiko. Zwar konnten die Sicherheit und Effektivität der Therapie nachgewiesen werden, potenzielle lebensbedrohliche Komplikationen sind jedoch möglich. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Diskussion der Art, des Managements und der Prävention der wichtigsten Komplikationen, die mit diesem Verfahren einhergehen.
