Heart Valve Disease

Mitral valve replacement with TMVR is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces a leaky heart valve and helps improve your blood flow. People can experience potential benefits of TMVR, including:

• A quick recovery
• Ability to return home from the hospital the following day
• Fewer hospitalizations
• Less blood backflow and accompanying symptoms
• No need for open heart surgery
• Possibility of not needing lifelong anticoagulants

This procedure is only suitable for patients too sick for surgery, as determined by their heart team and an experienced cardiac surgeon. Talk to your doctor about the best option for you.
