Conceiving MitraClip as a tool: percutaneous edge-to-edge repair in complex mitral valve anatomies
Key result
MitraClip is increasingly used for complex mitral valve anatomies in high-risk patients, with procedural success heavily dependent on operator experience and center volume.
Why the study?
Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair indications have expanded to complex anatomies in high-risk or inoperable patients, requiring consideration of operator experience and centre volume in patient selection.

Intervention
MitraClip (percutaneous edge-to-edge repair)
MitraClip is increasingly used by experienced operators in high-volume centers for complex mitral valve anatomies in high-risk patients, emphasizing the importance of operator experience and Heart Team evaluation.
