This article discusses the use of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) as a treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation. The study analyzed the outcomes of six patients who underwent TMVR at a heart center between April 2021 and October 2022. The patients had mild to moderate heart failure and were at high surgical risk. The results showed that TMVR was successful in reducing mitral regurgitation and improving cardiac function in all patients. However, there were two deaths during the study period, and one patient required surgical removal of the TMVR prosthesis due to complications. Overall, TMVR was deemed a valuable and effective treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation. [Extracted from the article]
