After nearly two decades of application and development, the clinical efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been continuously improved and demonstrated. Due to the expansion of indications of TAVR, the frequency of encountering patients with mixed valvular diseases increases greatly, particularly the moderate to severe mitral regurgitation combined with aortic stenosis. Multiple registry studies suggest that the incidence of significant mitral regurgitation is approximately 13% to 74% in patients who undergo TAVR. Some studies have reported that moderate to severe MR is associated with higher mortality, while simultaneous aortic and mitral valve surgery is associated with significantly higher surgical risk. Therefore, the optimal treatment strategy for this special patient group remains uncertain. With the further development of transcatheter therapy, staged surgery may be a feasible solution. However, there is currently a lack of evidence-based support such as randomized clinical trials. This review aims to report and evaluate relevant existing research data to help clinicians make optimal treatment decisions for this specific patient populations.
