Abstract

The mitral valve apparatus consists of numerous anatomic elements which must interact in a coordinated manner to ensure normal leaflet movement and coaptation. Specifically, pathologies of the mitral annulus, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles, left ventricle, and left atrium can all result in mitral regurgitation (MR). In this chapter, we review current surgical and emerging percutaneous approaches for MR correction, with specific attention to anatomic targets for therapy, as well as the challenges faced by percutaneous techniques.
