A TEER (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair) procedure is a safer option than open-heart surgery for fixing a leaky heart valve. This minimally invasive procedure uses a catheter in your vein to place a device that helps your mitral or tricuspid valve close more tightly.
INTRODUCTION Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive percutaneous technique for treatment of selected patients with symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). TEER reduces MR by improving the coaptation of the anterior and posterior mitral leaflets.
However, TEER offers a compelling alternative that minimizes risks and maximizes patient outcomes. What is Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER)? TEER is a catheter-based procedure that utilizes a small, flexible device to repair the mitral valve.

This information will help you to understand your condition, and the treatment options available, in particular a keyhole heart valve repair procedure known as TEER (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair).
Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive procedure for treating mitral valve regurgitation, a condition in which the valve between the heart's left chambers doesn't close properly.
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats valve leakage by using a catheter inserted through the femoral vein and delivering one or more clips with two arms to capture and lock valve leaflets without requiring open-heart surgery. TEER uses the MitraClip, PASCAL and TriClip devices. How it works How to prepare What to expect Scroll Right How it works
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive heart valve procedure for patients who are not candidates for traditional open-heart surgery. When used with Abbott’s MitraClip® and/or TriClip® technology, TEER can be used to repair leaky mitral valves and tricuspid valves.
