Mitral Valve Leaflet Modification: A Working Group Position Statement on Best Practices and Step-by-Step Guide
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) at risk of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Prevention of TMVR-induced LVOT obstruction by mitral leaflet modification
- Intentional LAMPOON and related techniques effectively prevent TMVR-induced LVOT obstruction, expanding the treatable population
- Risk of LVOT obstruction can reliably be identified on preprocedural cardiac CT
