Normal Mitral Valve

Functional mitral regurgitation, which occurs as a consequence of regional of global left ventricular or global left ventricular dysfunction despite structurally normal mitral valve (MV), is a common complication in patients with ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies [1].

Patients With Heart Failure

Patients with heart failure who have secondary severe mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction have a poor prognosis, with high rates of rehospitalization and mortality. Percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip (Abbott) has been shown to be safe and effective in secondary severe mitral regurgitation with heart failure. The number of MitraClip procedures performed has increased significantly, as recently published large, randomized clinical studies have shown. However, these studies have drawn different conclusions. This review aims to summarize the current evidence for the MitraClip procedure and provide information for its safe and successful implementation, comparing the studies that examined the use of MitraClip versus medical therapy alone or surgical repair for severe secondary mitral regurgitation.
