Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair has transformed the treatment of selected patients with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Successful intervention, however, requires far more than familiarity with a device. It demands precise anatomical assessment, phenotype-based patient selection, advanced echocardiographic guidance, procedural planning and coordinated decision-making by the heart team.

Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair of the Mitral and Tricuspid Valves: Devices, Phenotypes, Technique and Evidence is a comprehensive 460-page clinical and procedural guide designed to translate contemporary knowledge into practical decision-making.

The book takes the reader through the complete TEER pathway—from understanding valve anatomy and mechanisms of regurgitation to selecting suitable patients, planning the intervention, optimizing device implantation and evaluating the final result.

Key Topics Covered

• Functional and degenerative mitral regurgitation
• Primary and secondary tricuspid regurgitation
• Mitral and tricuspid valve phenotyping
• Patient selection and heart-team assessment
• Echocardiographic and multimodality imaging
• Transseptal puncture and procedural access
• Device selection and procedural planning
• Steering, positioning, leaflet grasping and device deployment
• Optimization of residual regurgitation
• Assessment of transmitral and transtricuspid gradients
• Difficult anatomies and advanced procedural strategies
• Intraprocedural troubleshooting
• Prevention and management of complications
• Post-procedure evaluation and follow-up
• Current clinical evidence and evolving indications
• Future directions in transcatheter valve repair

Practical, Procedure-Oriented Learning

The book emphasizes the critical decisions that determine procedural success:

• How to identify favorable and unfavorable anatomy
• How to select the appropriate device and treatment strategy
• How to use transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy together
• How to achieve stable leaflet insertion and effective tissue capture
• How to balance regurgitation reduction against valve gradients
• How to recognize inadequate grasping, single-leaflet device attachment and other complications
• How to assess procedural endpoints before final device release
• How to manage complex mitral and tricuspid valve anatomies

Who Should Read This Book?

This guide is intended for:

• Interventional cardiologists
• Structural heart specialists
• Echocardiographers and cardiac imaging specialists
• Clinical cardiologists
