5-Year Outcomes of Anterior Mitral Leaflet Laceration to Prevent Outflow Obstruction

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Prospective single-arm safety and feasibility study

Authors' conclusion

LAMPOON enabled TMVR despite the risk for LVOT obstruction. There were no long-term complications associated with LAMPOON.
