What is Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement, or TMVR?

With TMVR, the mitral valve in the heart is replaced with a catheter-based valve which is delivered via a small incision between the ribs or a puncture in the groin rather than traditional open-heart surgery. This procedure is required to correct the mitral valve when it is weakened from regurgitation or stenosis. The new valve implants are either of a synthetic or biological nature generated from other living tissue

A man in his 70s with recent cystogastrostomy for necrotizing pancreatitis with pseudocyst was admitted for Methicillinsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus septicemia and septic shock. On admission, he had focal neurological deficits with radiographic evidence of multifocal subarachnoid hemorrhages, as well as abdominal imaging results that were suggestive of multiple septic emboli.

Skin examination revealed tender, purplish nodules predominately on the fingertips that were compatible with Osler nodes, as well as painless hemorrhagic macules on the palms and soles that were consistent with Janeway lesions. Transesophageal echocardiogram results confirmed the diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE) involving the mitral and the aortic valves.

💡Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR)
The mitral valve controls blood flow between the upper left heart chamber (atrium) and the lower left heart chamber (ventricle)
✅️Transcatheter mitral valve replacement may be appropriate for patients who have mitral valve regurgitation or mitral valve stenosis but aren't good candidates for open-chest mitral valve repair and replacement surgery. Older people and those with underlying health conditions have higher risks of open-chest surgery and may be better candidates for TMVR
🫀TMVR is an option for some people with mitral valve disease who aren’t good candidates for open-heart surgery.
