TMVR or transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a way of replacing the mitral valve in the heart without the need for conventional open-heart surgery. TMVR transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a treatment for mitral valve stenosis (tight mitral valve) or mitral valve regurgitation (leaky mitral valve) or a mix of the two. The mitral valve is a highly complex structure, the competency, and function of which relies on the harmonious action of its components.

For people who are at high risk for open-heart surgery, transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) provides a newer, minimally invasive option for treating the defective mitral valve. It is commonly done for patients who have had prior mitral valve surgery and failed surgical bioprosthesis (Valve in valve procedures)
