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
(Table3). The central location of leaet 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 leaet calcication also favor a TEER approach in this patient.
Furthermore, adequate posterior leaet length
measurements also assure us of good grasping
zones. But a signicant 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 leaets. But this is
undertaken at the risk of procedural complications,

– The transeptal puncture must be at least >3.5cm
(ideally >4cm) above the MV annular plane (as

– Adequate atrial septal tenting is needed to assess
catheter positioning (Video 9 and Fig.9b)
– Conrm crossing of tip of catheter into LA
– Guide delivery system and clip into the left atrium

– Aid in positioning of the clip perpendicularly

pre-procedural imaging
– Partial opening of clip arms with movement of
grasping mechanism to identify clip arm orientation
– Conrm clip position above regurgitant orice by
use of color Doppler
– Conrm orientation of clip arms has not changed
after passing through the MV (reducing 2D/3D
gain until MV leaets 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 leaets in their
appropriate anterior and posterior grippers
– Verify each leaet 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

Clinical Controversies andClinical
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
6–12months is recommended to evaluate for
post procedure complications and effectiveness of procedure.

Percutaneous Balloon Mitral
Valvuloplasty forMitral Stenosis
Case Study
Ms. K is a 56year old female who moved
from Mexico to the U.S. 20years 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
6months. She also reports worsening dyspnea and fatigue when working around the
house doing her household chores. Her past
medical history is signicant for hypertension and paroxysmal atrial brillation.
Background andDenitions
While MS remains a signicant 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
classication for MS (Table9) [1]. As is true with
all valvular lesions, no one specic 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 conicting ndings (Table10) [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
