What is the latest way to correct or treat severe mvr without surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less invasive way: Mitral valve replacement is being done through small groin incisions (percutaneously) in specialized centers around the country. This is not suitable for everyone, but it is something to discuss with your cardiologist.
