Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) (for Functional Mitral Regurgitation)
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) may be considered when heart failure is complicated by moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation, symptoms persist after optimized medical therapy and cardiac resynchronization, and imaging suggests suitable anatomical conditions.

How Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) (for Functional Mitral Regurgitation) is performed
This technique is used for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of functional mitral regurgitation. Under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, the femoral vein is accessed and the septum is punctured to reach the left atrium. A closable clip device is positioned to approximate the anterior and posterior leaflets to reduce regurgitation. Multiple clips may be implanted if necessary. The procedure is often accompanied by transesophageal echocardiography monitoring and anticoagulation management. After completion, residual regurgitation is assessed, and the device and sheath are withdrawn, closing the puncture site. Postoperative monitoring includes hemodynamics, pericardium, and puncture site. The goal is to relieve symptoms and improve load. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
