Our Approach to Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair
Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care offers minimally invasive surgical alternatives to mitral valve repair. We are a nationally recognized leader in the diagnosis and treatment of complex valve disease and are ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery according to U.S. News & World Report. Here, patients are cared for by a multidisciplinary team composed of highly skilled physicians and surgeons who offer the most advanced interventional and minimally invasive surgical treatments for complex conditions of the heart valves. Our cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and other heart specialists collaborate closely to develop a transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) treatment plan for each individual patient.
TMVR for Mitral Valve Repair
Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is a procedure in which a bioprosthetic valve is threaded via a catheter through the femoral artery and into the heart. Once in position, balloon valvuloplasty is performed to deploy the replacement valve and its frame within the diseased native aortic valve. The procedure is performed in a hybrid catheterization lab and often takes less than an hour.
