Transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has become an essential treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation at high or prohibitive surgical risk. However, the surgical devices and procedural steps of the surgery are intricate, and there is currently a lack of standardized TEER procedures in China. Based on existing evidence and the accumulated experience in clinical practice, this article briefly introduces the definition, indications, contraindications, and surgical devices of TEER. It also provides a systematic and detailed elaboration on the procedural steps, key technical points, complications, and their management measures, offering guidance for the standardized implementation and widespread adoption of TEER in clinical practice in China.
