Understanding and repairing your leaky heart valve
Degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (DMR), sometimes called primary mitral valve regurgitation (PMR), is a serious condition. But there’s a less invasive treatment option that can repair your leaky heart valve.1
Degenerative mitral regurgitation is when the leaflets of the heart’s mitral valve do not close properly. This causes blood to leak backward, making it difficult for your heart to move blood through to the rest of your body efficiently. It may make you feel tired or out of breath, and it may cause an overall decrease in your quality of life.
Treating mitral regurgitation is key to maintaining your heart health and could make a difference for your quality of life.2
By treating mitral regurgitation, you can potentially:
with improved ability to do physical activities1
with a procedure shown to have a low risk of complication1
including shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heartbeat and swelling1
If you have mitral regurgitation and your doctor has evaluated you as prohibitive risk for open heart surgery, transcatheter valve repair may be an option for you. Only a specialized heart team can determine which treatment option is appropriate for you.
I was thinking to myself, I can breathe again. I can do what I want to do again.

Edwards PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System
Who can be treated:
The PASCAL Precision transcatheter valve repair system (the PASCAL Precision system) is approved for treating patients with abnormality of the mitral valve leaflets and/or its structure, which may be referred to as Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation or Primary Mitral Regurgitation. Patients should work with their doctor and a specialized Heart Team, which should include a cardiac surgeon experienced in mitral valve surgery and a cardiologist experienced in mitral valve disease, to confirm their surgical risk. The specialized Heart Team will determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the PASCAL procedure.
Who should not use:
The PASCAL Precision system should not be used in patients who:
