Hemodynamic Right Heart Catheterization Before Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies

Recent findings emphasize the potential role of invasive hemodynamic assessment in guiding transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve percutaneous interventions. Right heart catheterization-derived parameters offer insights into hemodynamic changes associated with valvular heart diseases, pulmonary hypertension phenotyping, and right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling. This might improve prognostic stratification for candidates to transcatheter therapies. This review provides a clinical overview of available data regarding the utility of preoperative right heart catheterization-derived parameters in patients undergoing mitral and tricuspid percutaneous repair or replacement.
