Device profile of the AltaValve system for transcatheter mitral valve replacement: overview of its safety and efficacy.

A high number of high-risk surgical patients with MR remain undertreated. TMVR is continuously evolving, and AltaValve constitutes another step forward in this field. Its unique design avoiding annular and LVOT engagement represents a clear potential benefit, along with its recently incorporated trans-septal approach system. However, more evidence is warranted regarding its feasibility in different clinical settings and mid-term performance.
