Faculty Opinions recommendation of Compassionate use of the PASCAL transcatheter mitral valve repair system for patients with severe mitral regurgitation: a multicentre, prospective, observational, first-in-man study.

Abstract

Edge-to-edge repair through the MitraClip procedure has become widely adopted in routine clinical practice for transcatheter mitral valve repair {1,2}; however, other devices have been developed for percutaneous edge-to-edge repair. This study describes the use of the Edward PASCAL device that permits better deployment with simpler left atrial navigation and independent leaflet grasping. This Recommendation is of an article referenced in an F1000 Faculty Review also written by Wendy Tsang.
