Key result
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high surgical risk.
Why the study?
Mitral regurgitation is increasingly prevalent and traditionally treated surgically, but new catheter-based options have emerged for patients unable to undergo classic cardiac surgery.
Population
Patients with primary or secondary mitral regurgitation unable to undergo classic cardiac surgery

Leaves open optimal catheter-based strategies for mitral regurgitation; prospective trials needed before practice change.
This review summarizes current transcatheter options for mitral regurgitation in patients ineligible for surgery, emphasizing MitraClip as the most established method.
Petrov et al. (2022) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MitraClip) vs. Conventional surgery or optimal medical therapy was evaluated. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high surgical risk.
