Key Aspects Mitral Regurgitation Prevalence is age-dependent, affecting 9.3% of those aged >75 years Etiology is primary (i.e., valvular) or secondary (i.e., ventricular) Excess mortality occurs from medical management and delays in intervention Surgical risk and etiology determine intervention and its timing Nkomo et al.

ACC/AHA Guidelines - MitraClip May be considered for prohibitive risk patients with significant symptomatic primary mitral regurgitation (MR 3+) and severe symptoms despite GDMT. Risk should be determined by a heart team that includes a cardiac surgeon experienced in mitral valve surgery and a cardiologist experienced in mitral valve disease (class IIb) Nishimura et al., JACC 2014
Take Home Messages Patients with MR 3+ who are considered to be of prohibitive risk for surgery currently have a percutaneous treatment option. MitraClip procedure is associated with very low rates of complications and early, sustained improvement in MR, NYHA functional class and QOL. Transesophageal echo is a mandatory screening exam to check for procedure suitability.
