Abstract

Surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with significant symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). However, up to 50% of them are denied the procedure due to high operative risk [1]. The MitraClip procedure has been recently widely adopted for the treatment of symptomatic patients with significant degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation who are deemed inoperable [2].
