VIDEO: MitraClip vs. surgical mitral valve replacement
Joanna Chikwe, MD, founding chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery and the Irina and George Schaeffer Distinguished Chair in Cardiac Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, and editor ofn the The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, led a panel discussion comparing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) to mitral valve surgery for primary mitral regurgitation. At the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2022 session, Chikwe steered the discussion on the latest evidence in valvular disease, surgical repair and structural heart repair for primary mitral regurgitation.
In the video, Chikwe discusses MitraClip for transcatheter TEER vs. surgical TEER, transcatheter TEER to aid heart failure patients and how the transcatheter TEER devices are now being used in tricuspid valve patients
