Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) are the two most common valvular lesions referred for surgical intervention in Europe and frequently co-exist. In patients with both severe AS and significant MR referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), a concomitant mitral valve intervention is typically performed if the MR is severe, despite the higher associated perioperative risk. The management of moderate MR among SAVR patients is controversial and depends on a number of factors including MR aetiology (i.e., organic versus functional MR), feasibility of repair and patient risk profile. Moderate or severe MR is present in up to one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), is mainly of functional aetiology and is typically left untreated. Although data are conflicting, a growing body of evidence suggests that significant MR exerts an adverse effect on both short- and long-term clinical outcomes after TAVI. Moderate or severe MR improves in just over half of patients following TAVI and recent data suggest MR is more likely to improve among patients receiving a balloon-expandable as compared with a self-expandable transcatheter heart valve.
