Structural Heart Disease: Interventional Advances in Valvular and Congenital Conditions

This chapter reviews the rapidly evolving field of structural heart disease intervention, with a focus on transcatheter approaches to valvular heart disease, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation, mitral valve repair and replacement, and tricuspid valve interventions. It examines patient selection criteria, procedural innovations, long-term outcomes, and the ongoing comparative evaluation of transcatheter versus surgical strategies across risk profiles. The chapter also addresses advances in the management of adult congenital heart disease, including catheter-based closure of septal defects and emerging hybrid surgical-interventional techniques.
