Percutaneous mitral valve repair using the edge-to-edge technique in a high-risk population

Abstract

437orIgInAl ArtIcle percutaneous mitral valve repair using the edge-to-edge technique in a high-risk population Background. Percutaneous mitral valve (MV) repair using the edge-to-edge clip technique might be an alternative for patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) and an unacceptably high risk for operative repair or replacement. We report the short-term safety and efficacy of this new technique in a high-risk population. Methods. All consecutive high-risk patients who underwent percutaneous MV repair with the

Risk and outcomes of complications during and after MitraClip implantation: Experience in 828 patients from the German TRAnscatheter mitral valve interventions (TRAMI) registry

“…As in previous studies, clip embolization was not observed in the present registry. In fact, only a single case of clip embolization has been reported worldwide, so far [1,[3][4][5]8,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] (Table V). Partial clip detachment from one leaflet was rarely observed (2% in the present analysis) and occurred spontaneously or during advancement of a second clip for residual MR.…”

Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair in High-Surgical-Risk Patients

“…Procedural technique. All procedures were performed as previously described (14). In brief, the clip device system is delivered to the left atrium (LA) via a transseptal puncture, advanced into the LV, and then retracted during systole, grasping the MV leaflets.…”

Quality of life following percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip System

“…Early data from EVEREST (Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge REpair Study) studies suggest that valve repair with the MitraClip System is feasible, safe and associated with procedural and mid-term outcomes not inferior to surgical treatment [6][7][8][9]. Recent data from experienced centers have attested to the safety and efficacy of this procedure in a high surgical risk, "real-world" population [10][11][12].…”
