It all started when…

The MitraClip procedure is a minimally invasive procedure performed to repair a leaking mitral valve. Open-heart surgery to repair or replace the mitral valve is generally recommended, but it is not an option for many patients. The MitraClip delivers a treatment option for patients who are not good surgical candidates and would otherwise go untreated.

Clinically important results in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) demonstrate:

  • Positive safety profile

  • Reduction in MR severity

  • Improvement in patient symptoms

  • Reduction in hospitalisations for heart failure

  • Short hospital length of stay
