Mitral & Tricuspid Valve Repair

Without Open-Heart Surgery

Mitral and tricuspid valve repair is a minimally invasive treatment used for patients whose heart valves do not close properly. When these valves leak, blood flows backward inside the heart instead of moving efficiently forward through the body.

This condition is called regurgitation and can make the heart work harder over time.

Using advanced catheter-based technology, a small device can be guided to the heart and used to improve how the valve closes. This can help reduce leakage, improve blood flow, and relieve symptoms without the need for traditional open-heart surgery in appropriate patients.

You may be a candidate for mitral or tricuspid valve repair if you have been diagnosed with valve regurgitation or are experiencing symptoms that suggest your valve may not be functioning properly.

• Common signs and symptoms include:
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue or reduced stamina
• Swelling in the legs or ankles
• Heart palpitations
• Difficulty with normal daily activity

Your structural heart team will review imaging, valve function, symptoms, and your overall health to determine whether a minimally invasive repair procedure is right for you.

Minimally invasive valve repair may provide relief for patients whose symptoms are affecting their quality of life.

• Potential benefits include:
• Minimally invasive treatment
• No traditional open-heart surgery in appropriate patients
• Improved valve function
• Better blood flow through the heart
• Relief from shortness of breath and fatigue
• Shorter recovery time for many patients
