Percutaneous mitral annular reduction surgical clip MitraClip™

MitraClip Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs your mitral valve. During the procedure, the doctor guides a thin tube (called a catheter) through a vein in your groin to reach your heart. A small clip, about the size of a dime, is attached to the leaflets of your mitral valve to help it close more completely and restore normal blood flow. The MitraClip Therapy procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours1 and allows for a shorter recovery time than open-heart surgery. Most people return home after one day in the hospital and often feel improvement soon after, resuming most day-to-day activities after 2 weeks.1 Results MitraClip Therapy is proven safe and effective With more than 20 years of proven outcomes and experience in over 300,000 people worldwide, MitraClip Therapy has been shown to safely and effectively reduce mitral regurgitation, improve survival, reduce hospitalizations, and help patients feel better.2 In a large clinical study: 47% fewer heart failure hospitalizations after 5 years compared to medication alone fewer heart failure hospitalizations after 5 years compared to medication alone2 28% lower risk of death than those treated with medication alone lower risk of death than those treated with medication alone2 99% of people were free from device-related compications at 5 years 2x more likkely to see major improvements in quality of life What is MitraClip™ Therapy approved for?
