title: Percutaneous valve repair and placement.
abstract: The treatment of valvular heart disease has progressed markedly in the past 20 years. Though percutaneous valve procedures are not nearly as widely performed as coronary intervention today, the emergence of new procedures for percutaneous valve repair and replacement indicates that this field is on the brink of rapid progression, just as angioplasty was approximately 20 years ago.
