Is TMVR the same as TAVR?
Multiple device-specific considerations distinguish TMVR from TAVR. The mitral valve annulus is significantly larger than the aortic annulus, and therefore will require larger valve mounted on larger delivery system.
What is TMVR procedure?
TMVR is a minimally invasive structural heart disease treatment to replace a damaged mitral valve without open-heart surgery. A flexible, hollow tube (catheter) is inserted through a blood vessel to reach the heart and replace the mitral valve.
What are the 2 types of replacement heart valves?
The two types of heart valve surgery options are:
- Valve repair surgery to fix the damaged or faulty valve, while preserving much of the person's own tissue.
- Valve replacement surgery to remove the faulty valve and replace it with a biological (pig, cow or human tissue) or mechanical (metal or carbon) valve.
What are the 4 valves of the heart disease?
- Tricuspid valve. Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
- Pulmonary valve. Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
- Mitral valve. Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- Aortic valve. Located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
