What it is?
MitraClip is a minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) by clipping the valve leaflets together.
How it’s done
A catheter inserted through the groin delivers the MitraClip device to the heart, clipping the valve leaflets to reduce leakage.
What are the benefits?
- Reduces heart failure symptoms
- Improves quality of life
- Suitable for patients ineligible for surgery
What are the risks and how to avoid them?
- Bleeding, valve dysfunction, or infection
- Stroke or heart rhythm issues (rare)
Risk reduction: Careful monitoring and expert handling minimize risks.
