DOIAbstract
The Mitraclip procedure is at present the most widely available method for transcatheter correction of severe mitral regurgitation (MR). The efficacy and the safety of the device has been evaluated in the EVEREST II randomized control study1 (head to head comparison with traditional surgical repair or replacement of the mitral valve) and although not as effective in abolishing MR, it provided significant improvement in functional class, along with evidence of favorable ventricular remodeling and with low perioperative morbidity and mortality.
