Abstract
Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is indicated in some patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). This procedure is an option for patients when surgical intervention is not considered appropriate. This article explores indications for TMVR and risks associated with the procedure. Diagnostic testing, post-procedural management, and critical care nursing considerations are also outlined.
