Abstract

There appears to be lower mortality in patients treated with MitraClip + OMT compared to OMT alone. There appears to be a lower rate of hospitalization in patients treated with MitraClip + OMT compared to OMT alone. There are only two randomized controlled trials (with discordant results) evaluating MitraClip + OMT compared to OMT alone.
