Clinical Trial Perspective: Cost-effectiveness of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Versus Medical Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure and Secondary Mitral Regurgitation. Results From the COAPT Trial
Author(s): Suzanne J Baron Added: 3 years ago
In the wake of transcatheter aortic valve replacement revolutionizing the treatment of aortic stenosis, sizeable interest has arisen in the development of percutaneous technologies to treat patients with mitral valve disease. Thus, when a percutaneous method of edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVr) using the MitraClip device (Abbott Vascular) was introduced, this device was met with… View more
