Improved right ventricular function following transapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation for severe mitral regurgitation

Background: Transapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) may be a therapeutic option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) excluded from cardiac surgery due to excessive risk. Exclusion criteria frequently include pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) dysfuncti...
