Abstract

Pharmacological treatment is the cornerstone therapy of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In addition, several percutaneous techniques have been developed to treat symptomatic patients, with specific heart failure (HF) phenotypes (e.g., valvular heart disease) that require non-pharmacological treatment. Given their prognostic relevance, it is imperative to deliver high-level patient care. This review provides a clinical overview on the available data regarding transcatheter devices in the armamentarium of contemporary interventional cardiologists, focusing on the clinical and anatomical selection criteria.
