Severe secondary mitral regurgitation carries a poor prognosis with one in five patients dying within 12 months of diagnosis. Optimal guideline-directed medical therapy is the mainstay therapy and has been shown to reduce the severity of mitral regurgitation in 40–45% of patients. to reduce heart failure hospitalisation and 5.9

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation for which the left atrium (LA) is usually accessed by the antegrade femoral venous route and transseptal puncture.
