2023年9月1日 · The mitral valve clip procedure treats mitral regurgitation with a repair that’s less invasive than open-heart surgery. Learn more about the mitral valve clip procedure, including preparation and recovery.

MitraClip is a small device used to stop leaking in the mitral valve. It is placed on your mitral valve in a minimally invasive interventional cardiology procedure called transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using a flexible, hollow tube (catheter).

2024年9月5日 · Mitral valve clips can help reduce mitral valve regurgitation by closing the mitral valve. This helps restore blood flow through the heart. Cardiologists will use mitral valve clips...

2015年5月25日 · The Mitraclip procedure is performed through a small incision in the groin unlike usual mitral valve surgery that requires sawing open of the breastbone. A tube is passed up through the leg vessels to the right side of the heart and the tube then passed in to the left side of the heart using a technique known as trans-septal puncture as seen below.

When the mitral valve fails to close completely, blood leaks backward inside your heart—that’s a condition called mitral regurgitation, commonly called leaky valve or heart murmur. One type of mitral regurgitation is called primary (or degenerative) mitral regurgitation. It can be related to age, a birth defect, or underlying heart disease.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair does not require opening up your chest. Here's how it works: The interventional cardiologist accesses the mitral valve by threading a thin catheter through a vein in your leg and up into your heart. The MitraClip …

MitraClip is a device that can be used to repair a leaking mitral valve (see below) and relieve symptoms of mitral regurgitation (see below) and heart failure. MitraClip procedure is also called a ‘transcatheter mitral valve’ procedure. The mitral valve is one of the four heart valves that control the flow of blood in and out of the heart.
