Description
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe mitral valve disease in patients who are not suitable for open heart surgery. The procedure replaces the damaged mitral valve using catheter based technology.
Â
A specially designed replacement valve is delivered through a catheter and positioned securely within the diseased mitral valve. Once deployed, it restores proper blood flow and improves heart function.
Indications
TMVR is recommended for patients with severe mitral regurgitation or mitral valve dysfunction who are high surgical risk and require minimally invasive treatment.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive mitral valve replacement
- No need for open chest surgery
- Improved blood flow efficiency
- Reduced heart failure symptoms
- Shorter hospital recovery time
Treatment Steps
Consultation
Comprehensive clinical evaluation imaging assessment and Heart Team review to confirm eligibility.
Procedure
Catheter based valve replacement performed under advanced imaging guidance.
Recovery
Post procedure monitoring medication management and structured follow up for stable valve function.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions​
We have addressed common questions related to TMVR eligibility safety recovery expectations and long term valve performance to help patients make informed and confident treatment decisions.
TMVR is a minimally invasive transcatheter procedure used to replace a severely diseased mitral valve without performing traditional open heart surgery.
Patients with severe mitral valve disease who are high surgical risk may be considered following detailed imaging evaluation and multidisciplinary Heart Team assessment.
Most patients experience shorter recovery compared to surgical valve replacement with gradual return to normal activities under medical supervision.
When performed by experienced interventional cardiology teams following strict procedural protocols TMVR is considered safe and clinically effective for selected patients.
Durability depends on patient factors and clinical follow up data but transcatheter valves are designed for long term performance and symptom improvement.
