title: Percutaneous mitral annuloplasty.
abstract: Mitral annuloplasty is the most common surgical procedure performed for mitral valve regurgitation, whether performed alone or as part of a more complex repair. A less invasive percutaneous approach to mitral annuloplasty associated with lesser morbidity might offer advantages over a surgical procedure in some patients, even if less efficacious. We review current experimental percutaneous approaches to mitral annuloplasty.
