[Mitral valve: When conservative, when surgical, when interventional therapy?].

The management of severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation is in contrast to the aortic-valve-intervention more challenging due to the complex mitral-valve anatomy. In primary mitral regurgitation surgical therapy is recommended, whereas there are various therapeutic options in secondary mitral regurgitation. Besides the established mitral-valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge-Repair (M-TEER) and the interventional annuloplasty - devices dynamic developments have recently been made in the field of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement-therapy (TMVR). This article surveys the current recommendations and available therapeutic options in mitral regurgitation.
