Surgeon Q&A: Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement with Dr. Steve Bolling

www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - With the extraordinary success of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), many mitral valve patients are wondering, " Why are transcatheter mitral valve therapies not widely available to patients struggling with mitral regurgitation and other mitral valve diseases?"
In this video, we interview Dr. Steven Bolling, a leading mitral valve expert at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to better understand the current status of both transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) devices. During his career, Dr. Bolling has performed over 7,000 cardiac procedures and more than 5,000 heart valve operations.
Key questions asked to Dr. Bolling include:
1. What is the latest update specific to transcatheter mitral valve therapies?
2. What are the differences specific to anatomy and function of the aortic valve and the mitral valve that have caused longer research and development cycles for TMVr and TMVR?
3. What might happen for transcatheter mitral valve therapies during the next 10 years?
4. What role do clinical trials and research studies have for the advance of transcatheter mitral valve therapies?
