Background The role of percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is unclear. Methods Seventy-five consecutive patients with FMR grade ≥ 3 + and severe HF symptoms despite optimal medical therapy and resynchronization therapy underwent PMVR with the MitraClip system (Abbott, Abbott Park, IL, USA) at 3 centers. Clinical evaluation, echocardiography and pro-BNP measurement were performed at baseline and at 6-month. Results Mean age was 67 ± 11 years, logistic EuroSCORE = 23 ± 18%, left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) 30 ± 9%. In 6 patients (8%) PMVR was performed as a bridge to heart transplant; many patients were dependent from iv diuretics and/or inotrop...
