Catheter-based Mitral Valve Repair with the MITRACLIP
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a condition whereby the mitral valve leaks. As a result, a significant volume of blood is pushed backward into the left atrium. Left unattended, mitral regurgitation can lead to progressive enlargement of the heart and will lead to heart failure. Common causes for these leakages are usually either functional or degenerative. Conventional treatment of severe MR will be surgery, in the form of either mitral valve repair or replacement. However, this will require an open heart surgery. On occasions, the risk of surgery is high especially when there is coexisting medical conditions or advanced age.
