Learn more about how to evaluate imaging in patients with mitral valve (MV) disease who are potential candidates for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) with Prof Marta Sitges (University of Barcelona, Barcelona, ES).

This two-part video lecture series, part of the Structural Interventions track of Women As One's CLIMB® 2025 Skills Training Program, provides essential insights into imaging and procedural strategies for successful mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

In this first lecture Prof Marta Sitges presents a systematic approach to imaging, mainly focusing on 3D echocardiography. She begins with a review of mitral valve anatomy using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), highlighting how to integrate anatomical and functional views in a single image to guide clinical decision-making. Prof Sitges also discusses how to identify different types of mitral valve dysfunction and outlines the specific imaging requirements for M-TEER in the two main etiologies where the procedure is indicated. Lastly, the lecture covers how to recognise degenerative MR patients who are appropriate candidates for M-TEER.
