Overview
A significant number of patients with severe mitral and tricuspid valve disease have been previously treated with either valve repair with annuloplasty rings or valve replacement with bioprosthetic/mechanical valves. Over time, these bioprosthetic valves and rings may fail resulting in recurrence of the valvular disease. The technical aspects of a re-do operation are complex and these patients are often times at high risk for repeat open surgery. The emergence of transcatheter options may provide a safer and less invasive alternative to open surgery. Majority of the data currently exist for Western cohorts with limited longer-term outcomes. Data on this therapy is particularly lacking in the Asia-Pacific region, especially important in the light of known differences in body habitus and size.
