Transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a mitral valve that isn't working properly. A catheter is inserted in the leg or chest and guided to the heart. A replacement valve is then inserted through the catheter and guided to the heart. A balloon is expanded to press the valve into place.
