Abstract

Valvular heart diseases such as aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation are often associated with heart failure, which in turn increases patients' Surgical Thoracic Society (STS) score. A high STS score means the patient is high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair/replacement. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement and percutaneous mitral valve repair offer a minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of valvular heart disease in patients with severe heart failure. We aim to review the current evidence on the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of these devices in patients with severe heart failure.
