Abstract:
Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is common, with a prevalence that exceeds 9% for those patients >75 years of age. For symptomatic patients with prohibitive surgical risk, transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip® system (Abbott Vascular, Menlo Park, CA) is available for clinical use and is effective in reducing MR in select patients. For optimal clinical success, the procedure requires mastery of complex catheterization skills with application of an in-depth understanding of the mitral valve anatomy. We herein describe elementary and advanced maneuvers for successful transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip® . © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
