‘Intracardiac surgery is not for the lone worker. Team work is essential … success is due principally to the loyal and unstinted co-operation of my various colleagues who take part with me in this work both at Guy’s and the Brompton Hospital. To give one example, at Guy’s there is a group of some 15 people actively engaged in the work, and as time passes we find that more and more are drawn into the team.’ Peacock Club – 70 years ago

• PTMV and OMC have comparable initial results and low rates of restenosis, and both produce good functional capacity for at least three years.
• The better hemodynamic results at three years, lower cost, and elimination of the need for thoracotomy suggest that PTMV should be considered for all patients with favorable mitral-valve anatomy. Mechanism of PTMV
PTMV relieves mitral stenosis by splitting fused commissures, similar to surgical commissurotomy PTMV Technique

▪ Preserves the native valve and, almost always, the subvalvular apparatus ▪ Improved long-term survival ▪ Improved cardiac function ▪ Lower risk of complications (incl. stroke, SBE) ▪ Usually eliminates need for anticoagulants

▪ Concurrent revascularization CABG
▪ AF-therapies e.g. surgical Maze, left atrial appendage closure Transcatheter Mitral Valve repair
▪ Mitral valve repair surgery remains optimal
▪ The only FDA-approved TMVr device is MitraClip
▪ Other approaches – leaflet tethering, transcatheter annuloplasty in development Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement
▪ In development – FDA-approved clinical trials ▪ Deployment of artificial valve across native mitral to fix MR ▪ Trans-apical via left thoracotomy and transeptal The MitraClip ▪ The only FDA approved percutaneous therapy for Mitral Regurgitation in the US ▪ Edge-to-edge repair (cf. Alfieri stitch)

Conclusions
▪ MitraClip clearly reduces symptoms, although less than MVR in candidates who can have surgery ▪ MitraClip improves quality of life post procedure ▪ MitraClip is non-inferior to surgery in safety ▪ MitraClip 5 year results are durable ▪ MitraClip is reasonable for patients who are at prohibitive risk for surgery

Case Presentation
▪ 96-year old woman ▪ Active until July 2016 ▪ Developed worsening dyspnea admitted to the hospital with congestive cardiac failure Improved after introduction of the diuretics ▪ Severe AS and severe degenerative MR ▪ Underwent TAVR but remained symptomatic with elevated pulmonary pressures
Results
▪ LVEF normalized ▪ No severe pulmonary hypertension ▪ No severe MR (reduced to mild) ▪ No severe AS
▪ Asymptomatic and independent (98 yrs. old) Take home points
• Patients with mitral valve disease are complex –
• symptoms may be multifactorial,
• require careful diagnostic workup,
• multidisciplinary approach,
• detailed stepwise treatment plan, and
• post procedure surveillance by dedicated teams. Take home points
MS
• Transcatheter balloon mitral valvuloplasty is the preferred treatment option for patients with mitral stenosis and favorable anatomy.
MR
• Mitral Valve Repair surgery is the gold standard.
• MitraClip is approved for very high surgical risk patients with MR >3+ and degenerative mitral valve disease if reasonable survival expected.
• 5 year follow-up data show durable result. Landmark analysis shows after 6 months, event free survival improved.
• Ongoing trial for functional mitral regurgitation ECHO
