Future interventional procedures for valve diseases

Abstract Percutaneous valve therapies represent one of the most innovative areas within interventional cardiology in the past 10 years. The aim of this work is to give an overview of current and upcoming therapeutic options. In this manuscript, the results of a retro- and prospective literature research are summarized. With the introduction of percutaneous therapies for valvular heart disease, patients who were previously considered too ill for surgery can now be treated. The percutaneous treatment of aortic or mitral valve disease has become standard therapy. Likewise, promising results have been obtained for percutaneous treatment options for pathologies of the tricuspid valve, which are still under intense investigation.
