Clinical Summary

Clinical Overview & Disease Information

MitraClip is a breakthrough catheter-based procedure that clips together the fluttering leaflets of a leaky mitral valve, eliminating severe mitral regurgitation (MR) without open-heart surgery.

Clinical Insight: Undergoing mitraclip — transcatheter mitral valve repair at our accredited centers provides international patients with access to state-of-the-art navigation robotics, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and world-renowned surgical teams at a fraction of Western costs.

Clinical Manifestations

Signs & Symptoms

Early Symptoms
  • • Shortness of breath when lying flat (orthopnea)
  • • Mild swelling in ankles and feet
Common Symptoms
  • • Severe shortness of breath during minimal exertion
  • • Persistent fatigue and lung congestion
  • • Frequent coughing especially at night
  • • Palpitations due to secondary AFib
Emergency Symptoms
  • • Acute pulmonary edema with pink frothy sputum
  • • Severe gasping for air
Etiology & Demographics

Causes & Risk Factors

Primary Causes & Etiology

  • Degenerative Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP / Barlows Disease)
  • Functional MR secondary to Left Ventricular Dilated Cardiomyopathy
  • Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation post-heart attack

Who is at Higher Risk?

  • Surgically inoperable heart failure patients
  • Elderly patients with low ejection fraction (LVEF < 30%)
Pre-Operative Protocol

Diagnostic Evaluation & Testing

Diagnostic Test Clinical Purpose / What It Shows
3D Transesophageal Echocardiography (3D-TEE) Evaluates mitral valve grasping zone, flail segment width, and vena contracta area
Left & Right Heart Catheterization Measures pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and cardiac output
Surgical Techniques
