Offers procedural guidance for high-risk cases; leaves open generalizability pending prospective trials.
This paper provides a step-by-step guide for surgeons on the use of MitraClip, illustrated by two clinical vignettes of high-surgical-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
Rodríguez et al. (2021) conducted a review in Mitral regurgitation. MitraClip was evaluated. The MitraClip procedure is a transcatheter mitral valve repair technique that achieved reduction of mitral regurgitation to <2+ in over 95% of cases with <1% mortality at the authors' institution.
