The transcatheter valve technology pipeline for treatment of adult valvular heart disease

Hans R Figulla et al. Eur Heart J. .

Abstract

The transcatheter valve technology pipeline has started as simple balloon valvuloplasty for the treatment of stenotic heart valves and evolved since the year 2000 to either repair or replace heart valves percutaneously with multiple devices. In this review, the present technology and its application are illuminated and a glimpse into the near future is dared from a physician's perspective.
