Given recent innovations specific to non-invasive, transcatheter heart valve therapies, there is extensive patient interest to learn how these next generation devices &#8211; which do not require an incision to the chest &#8211; may be used if a valve needs to be re-replaced or re-repaired.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about this exciting topic as it relates to the mitral valve, we just interviewed Dr. Jason Rogers, the Clinical Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Director of Interventional Cardiology at UC Davis Health in Sacramento, California. As you may know, Dr. Rogers specializes in transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) procedures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zKa3jmkzs3Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Key Learnings from Dr. Rogers<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Rogers had several important points to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The use of TMVR and TMVr devices for mitral valve re-operations is currently happening at cardiac centers that specialize in heart valve therapy.<\/li>\n<li>For failing bioprosthetic mitral valve replacements, a TMVR device with tissue leaflets can be inserted through the groin. Patients often leave the hospital one day after a &#8220;valve-in-valve&#8221; procedure that requires no incision to the patient&#8217;s chest and patients do not need to be on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/2017\/09\/12\/heart-lung-machine-facts\/\">heart-lung machine<\/a> during the procedure.<\/li>\n<li>For failing mitral valve repairs, a TMVr device known as the MitraClip can be used to bring the leaflets together to reduce blood leakage, or regurgitation, across the valve.\u00a0 Similar to the TMVR device, a MitraClip does not require an incision to the patient&#8217;s chest and the patient does not need to undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (the heart-lung machine).<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Rogers believes it is important for patients to learn more about these procedures. &#8220;These are important therapies for patients to know about,&#8221; stated Dr. Rogers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Many Thanks to Dr. Jason Rogers<\/h2>\n<p>On behalf of the patients at HeartValveSurgery.com, many thanks to Dr. Rogers for sharing his clinical experiences and research with our community.<\/p>\n<p>Keep on tickin!<br \/>\nAdam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"cms.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"class_list":["post-1267","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-medical-technology"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1267"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5441,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1267\/revisions\/5441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
