  • In the first multicentre, randomized trial to compare undersized annuloplasty versus mitral replacement in severe ischaemic mitral regurgitation (MR), higher recurrence of clinically significant MR and increased rehospitalization occurred after repair. With the rapid development of transcatheter mitral valve interventions, valve replacement might be the preferable transcatheter mitral valve therapy.

  • In elderly patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation who are not ideal candidates for conventional surgical valve repair or replacement, percutaneous valve repair is emerging as an alternative therapeutic option. While percutaneous valve repair is associated with clinical improvement, faster recovery, and reduced perioperative mortality, it should only be considered in patients who will gain the most benefit from it. In this Review, Taramasso and colleagues discuss the treatment options and indications for degenerative mitral regurgitation in elderly patients.

  • In this state-of-the-art Review, Michele De Bonis and colleagues discuss the optimal management of patients with degenerative or function mitral regurgitation, from established surgical techniques to new percutaneous technologies. They also provide an overview of the use of echocardiography in the assessment of MR.

  • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly used to treat patients with aortic stenosis for whom the risks associated with surgery are very high. In this Review, the new generation of TAVI devices are discussed, many of which have features that allow repositioning of the device and reduce paravalvular leakage.

  • Preliminary experience with the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to treat non-calcific aortic regurgitation has raised concerns about the short-term effectiveness of TAVI in this setting. A deeper understanding of the interaction between transcatheter heart valves and anatomy in patients with non-calcific aortic valve disease, coupled with the introduction of dedicated TAVI devices, is providing new opportunities in the management of this condition.
