Transapical mitral valve repair procedures: Primetime for microinvasive mitral valve surgery [PDF]
Introduction: Nowadays micro-invasive procedures (off-pump, beating heart) for mitral valve repair (MVRe) are abruptly expanding with the potential to be adopted as a valuable alternative to surgery. In the present manuscript, the Authors review the available technologies intended to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) through transapical approach ...
