Heart Team Decision
The ACC/AHA 2020 practice guideline on val­vular heart disease provides a framework for decision making for MV surgical vs. transcathe­ter approach primarily based on mechanism of MR (Tables 1 and 2) [1]. Surgical MV repair is considered the gold standard for primary MR due to the ability to provide a more complete repair when compared to TEER.Thus, TEER for pri­mary MR is suitable only when the patient is demonstrated to be high surgical risk or a poor candidate for surgical repair due to other factors (i.e. anatomical). Despite our patient’s anxiety over surgical repair, a formal cardiothoracic sur­gery evaluation is required and was ordered to
assess for eligibility for TEER.Due to patient’s comorbidities, he was determined to be of high surgical risk for surgical MV repair with a calcu­lated STS score of 9.5%. With a designation of high surgical risk, our patient can now be consid­ered for TEER if his anatomy proves favorable.
Several anatomical factors need to be reviewed when deciding this patient’s suitability for TEER (Table3). The central location of leaet pathology is favorable for TEER due to ease of access of the A2–P2 location for the TEER system. Lack of any degree of mitral stenosis and minimal leaet calci­cation also favor a TEER approach in this patient. Furthermore, adequate posterior leaet length measurements also assure us of good grasping zones. But a signicant ail width (Fig.7) and ail gap (Fig.5b) are less favorable features. A large

Our patients MV characteristics as it pertains to
and/or highly mobile ail segment can lead to an unstable clip attachment and a poor TEER result.
Further discussion within the heart team led to the decision to move forward with TEER. The favorable features that allowed for a successful TEER were thought to outweigh the less favorable

ones (Table 7). Additionally, as experience is gained, it is recognized that placement of multiple MV clips during TEER can allow for stabilization of larger more mobile ail leaets. But this is undertaken at the risk of procedural complications,

Delivery system withdrawal
– The transeptal puncture must be at least >3.5cm
(ideally >4cm) above the MV annular plane (as shown measured in Fig.9b)
– Optimal position of transeptal puncture in
midposterior fossa with inferior and posterior positioning
– Adequate atrial septal tenting is needed to assess
catheter positioning (Video 9 and Fig.9b) – Conrm crossing of tip of catheter into LA – Guide delivery system and clip into the left atrium
as it advances to clear surrounding anatomy – Aid in positioning of the clip perpendicularly
above the known regurgitant orice based on
pre-procedural imaging – Partial opening of clip arms with movement of
grasping mechanism to identify clip arm orientation – Conrm clip position above regurgitant orice by
use of color Doppler – Conrm orientation of clip arms has not changed
after passing through the MV (reducing 2D/3D
gain until MV leaets are not visible is needed to
visualize clip below the MV) – The 2 clip arms must be visualized as clearly as
possible as the clip is retracted towards the MV in
an attempt to capture both leaets in their
appropriate anterior and posterior grippers – Verify each leaet capture (release and re-capture
if necessary due to poor capture, Video 13) – Close clip with concomitant color Doppler
evaluation as to note the reduction in MR in real time – Residual MR location and severity evaluation by
color Doppler – PV ow reversal and transmitral peak and mean
gradient evaluation – Assess need for additional clip
– Continuously image the distal end of delivery
catheter to assure clearance of any adjacent
anatomy as it is withdrawn – Evaluate shunt ow from resulting iatrogenic
interatrial defect

– Body habitus and artifact may
limit adequate assessment of mitral valve
– Some absolute contraindications
include upper GI anatomical considerations, active upper GI
bleeding – Requires sedation – May underestimate MR severity

Clinical Controversies andClinical Pearls
• Patient selection, based on both clinical and anatomical features, is key in increasing the odds of a good outcome.
• TEER for primary MR is suitable only when patient is demonstrated to be a high surgical risk, otherwise MV surgical repair is the gold standard.
• Exercise stress testing can serve as a valuable tool to assess asymptomatic patients with MR and can shed light on the dynamic nature of MR in patients with discordant clinical ndings.
• Multi-modality imaging (i.e. cardiac MRI) can be useful if used in the proper context such as discordant ndings on echocardiogram.
Key Points
– Mitral regurgitation is a complex disease pro-
cess and transthoracic echocardiography can
serve as the cornerstone imaging modality to provide the clinician with a comprehensive evaluation of the mitral valve.
– Transesophageal echocardiography may be
needed if TTE ndings are incomplete, dis­cordant with clinical ndings or more precise information is needed about MV anatomy to ascertain eligibility for transcatheter intervention.
– A careful consideration of clinical and ana-
tomical features that pertain to a favorable outcome for patients being considered for TEER should be undertaken in pre-procedural planning.
– Familiarity with the key TEER procedural
steps and experience with TEE image optimi­zation techniques is crucial to a successful TEER.
– Follow up imaging at 1 day, 30 days and at
6–12months is recommended to evaluate for post procedure complications and effective­ness of procedure.

Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty forMitral Stenosis
Case Study
Ms. K is a 56year old female who moved from Mexico to the U.S. 20years ago. She has known mitral stenosis (MS) and has followed with cardiology for the last 10 years with intermittent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) imaging. At the most recent clinic visit, the patient reports worsening exertional dyspnea when climb­ing the stairs in her home during the last 6months. She also reports worsening dys­pnea and fatigue when working around the house doing her household chores. Her past medical history is signicant for hyperten­sion and paroxysmal atrial brillation.
Background andDenitions
While MS remains a signicant cause of valvular heart disease around the world, its incidence remains low in high-income countries and is declining in low and middle-income countries. MS presentation and management can vary depending on rheumatic versus non-rheumatic etiology (Table 8) [11]. For this reason, it is important to delineate MS etiology and anatomy at time of diagnosis.
Complete and accurate evaluation of patients with MS is key in ensuring appropriate patient selection for possible intervention. The 2020 ACC/AHA practice guideline for patients with valvular heart disease provides the most up to date classication for MS (Table9) [1]. As is true with all valvular lesions, no one specic parameter or measurement can assess MS completely. Multiple hemodynamic parameters along with valve anat­omy, symptoms and secondary cardiac character­istics must be evaluated to accurately assess the presence and severity of MS.Understanding the limitations of the commonly used hemodynamic MS parameters can also help in reconciling con­icting ndings (Table10) [12].
Once a diagnosis of severe MS has been made, the patient should be referred to an experienced center to be evaluated by a multi­disciplinary valve team for eligibility for pos­sible intervention. Treatment options may differ
