Structural Interventions in Heart Failure: Mending a Broken Heart

David Katzianer et al. J Clin Med. .

Abstract

Advanced heart failure is often accompanied by perturbations in cardiac chamber or valve geometries which result in worsening cardiac function and hemodynamics. Once limited to surgical procedures, recent developments in minimally invasive percutaneous techniques have demonstrated efficacy in patients with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction who are at an elevated surgical risk for perioperative events. This review highlights a subset of the interventions available in clinical practice or in development for the treatment of these valvular and structural alterations.

Keywords: cardiomyopathy; heart failure; intervention; percutaneous; structural heart disease; valvular heart disease.
