Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography is routinely used to guide percutaneous interventions involving the mitral valve. Mitral balloon valvuloplasty for rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (MS) was the first percutaneous intervention to gain wide acceptance. New techniques have been developed to treat degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation (MR) as well as paravalvular mitral leak (PVML). This review describes the use of echocardiography for transcatheter treatment of MS, MR, and PVML.
