Mitral Valve Repair MitraClip System
Introduction EVEREST II Randomized Controlled Trial Outcomes through 1 year have been previously reported MitraClip device demonstrated increased safety compared to surgery reduced MR more than percutaneous procedure 77% of percutaneous vs. 100% of surgical patients had inhospital MR reduction to 2+ or less Both groups showed improved LV function, NYHA Functional Class and Quality of Life We report 2 year clinical outcomes for the EVEREST II Randomized Controlled Trial

Summary EVEREST II RCT When percutaneous repair is compared to surgery repair provides increased safety provides more complete MR reduction 78% of percutaneous patients are free from surgery at 2 years Both percutaneous and surgical treatment reduced MR and demonstrated meaningful clinical benefits through 2 years Significantly improved LV volumes and NYHA Functional Class No loss of device integrity through 2 years Follow-up is ongoing 33
Conclusion EVEREST II RCT The MitraClip procedure is a therapeutic option for select patients with significant mitral regurgitation Favorable safety profile Measurable clinical benefits Improved LV volumes and NYHA Class Results are durable through 2 years 34
