Percutaneous interventions for structural heart disease refer to minimally invasive procedures that are performed through the skin (percutaneously) to treat abnormalities or defects in the heart's structure. These interventions are often used to repair or replace heart valves, close holes in the heart, or correct other structural issues that may be causing symptoms or complications. Examples of percutaneous interventions for structural heart disease include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve repair, closure of atrial septal defects, and percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion. These procedures are typically performed in a catheterization laboratory using imaging techniques such as echocardiography and fluoroscopy to guide the placement of devices or repair materials. Percutaneous interventions for structural heart disease offer a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, with shorter recovery times and reduced risk of complications. They have revolutionized the treatment of many structural heart conditions and are increasingly being used as the preferred approach for eligible patients.
