First-in-Human Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy to Facilitate Mitral Balloon Commissurotomy After Prior Annuloplasty Band Repair
IVL can be used off-label for severe MS with prior incomplete annuloplasty band where surgery, transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring, and PMBC are not viable options. IVL-facilitated PMBC still remains investigational; larger studies and longer term follow-ups are required to define safety, durability, and patient outcomes.
