How Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair (TEER) is performed
Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is suitable for those who meet the anatomical and adaptation conditions. The common practice is to enter through the femoral vein, cross the septum into the left atrium under ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance, manipulate the adjustable catheter to position the clip at the regurgitation jet, gradually clip the two leaflets together, place multiple clips if necessary, and re-evaluate residual regurgitation and hemodynamics. Then withdraw the device and treat the puncture site, and monitor heart rhythm, blood pressure, and blood oxygen after the operation. The goal is to reduce regurgitation and relieve symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
