The Abbott Vascular MitraClip: Patient Selection and How to Obtain the Best Outcomes

Michael Chrissoheris et al. Hellenic J Cardiol. 2015.

Abstract

The MitraClip procedure is an important procedure for the treatment of high-risk patients with severe MR, offering an effective and clinically meaningful reduction in the degree of MR, with low perioperative morbidity and mortality. Careful screening of prospective patients and evaluation by the multidisciplinary Heart Team are essential. A dedicated interventional team combining technical skills and advanced imaging is critical for success.
