TEER: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Leaking Heart Valves

• Mitral Regurgitation, a condition where a heart valve leaks, often causes fatigue and breathlessness, frequently mistaken for aging.
• Traditional open-heart surgery, while effective, carries high risks for elderly or medically complex patients.
• Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs the leaking valve without opening the chest.
• TEER improves heart efficiency, reduces symptoms, and allows high-risk patients to safely receive treatment, enhancing their quality of life.
• Patients experience shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and improved comfort, enabling a faster return to daily activities.

Why It Matters: TEER offers a safer, minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for mitral regurgitation, improving patient outcomes.
