Abstract

Recent advances in a number of surgical and catheter-based therapeutic approaches in cardiology have allowed less invasive treatment with a better prognosis even in complex cases. These techniques include electrophysiological examination and ablation, surgical and transcatheter mitral valve repair as well as transfemoral aortic valve implantation, and percutaneous closure of atrial appendage, septal defects, and paravalvular leaks.
