Mitral and tricuspid valve repair and recovery

What you can expect from transcatheter valve repair to treat your leaking valve

What to expect from the procedure

Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) and transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) involve implanting a device through an incision near your groin using a flexible tube called a catheter. The device is used to repair your leaking mitral or tricuspid heart valve.¹

Before the procedure

Your interventional cardiologist will give you instructions on preparing for the procedure. This may include instructions to stop or start taking certain medications.

The results were amazing. I would say that I live a better-than-normal life for an 85-year-old woman.
