MITRAL VALVE TRANSLOCATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF FUNCTIONAL MITRAL REGURGITATION
Published Thursday, January 31, 2019There is currently no reliable, durable mitral valve repair option for patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (FMR). Replacing the mitral valve with a prosthetic tissue or mechanical valve is currently the most durable approach to the treating FMR. However, this procedure has a high perioperative mortality risk and carries the risk...
