We are also seeing a gradual expansion of the concept to mitral valve repair and pulmonary valve repair/replacement. The growing interventional versus surgical approach will begin to offer less traumatic options to these patients. As the available device options increase, we will likely see a gradual reduction in device costs, which will also begin to reduce the cost of treatment and length of inpatient care, improving quality of life and ability to return to everyday life for these patients. Long-term findings remain to be seen, but the approach continues to show increasing promise for this patient population.
