Organic (or primary), if there is an intrinsic valve disease Functional (or secondary), if the valve is structurally normal but leaks as a result of an extravalvular abnormality, such as an alteration in LV chamber geometry and/or dilatation of the mitral annulus that adversely affects normal coaptation of the mitral valve leaflets during systole Ischemic MR may be organic (ruptured or ischemic papillary muscle) and/or functional because of LV chamber dilatation Nonischemic MR may be organic (e.g., rheumatic) or functional (e.g., dilated cardiomyopathy)

At 4 years, the rate of the composite endpoint of freedom from death, surgery, or 3+ or 4+ MR in the intention-to-treat population was 39.8% in the percutaneous repair group versus 53.4% in the surgical groups (p<0.070)
Death were 17.4% versus 17.8% (p=0.914) 3+ or 4+ MR was present in 21.7% versus 24.7% (p=0.745) at 4 years of follow-up, respectively Surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, however, occurred in 20.4% versus 2.2% (p < 0.001) at 1 year and 24.8% versus 5.5% (p < 0.001) at 4 years
Patients treated with percutaneous repair of the mitral valve more commonly required surgery to treat residual MR However, after the first year of follow-up, there were few surgeries required after either percutaneous or surgical treatment and no difference in the prevalence of moderatesevere and severe MR or mortality at 4 years

27 patients (4.8%): Single leaflet device attachment. All but 1 case were diagnosed within 6 months from the index procedure. 10 underwent a second MitraClip procedure, no action was taken in 11 patients, 6 patients had mitral valve repair or replacement surgery, and 1 patient had additional MitraClip devices implanted during the index procedure. There have been no reports of MitraClip device embolization in the ACCESS-EU Study.
Thirty-six subjects (6.3%) underwent a mitral valve surgery within 12 months after the MitraClip implant procedure. Nineteen patients (3.4%) underwent a second intervention to place an additional MitraClip device to reduce MR. Of the 19 attempts to further reduce MR with a second intervention to place a MitraClip device, 14 (74%) were successful.
The MitraClip device (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) was approved October 24, 2013, for the reduction of significant ( 3+), symptomatic, degenerative MR in highly anatomically selected patients considered by an experienced heart team to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery.

Leaflets Annulus Supporting structures Left ventricle
Discontinuation of the mitral-ventricular continuity results in maladaptive remodelling and impaired LV performance The mitral valve regulates the flow pattern within the LV Preservation of anterior leaflet mobility and asymmetric flow may be associated with better LV performance
CARILLON Mitral Contour System Designed to be positioned, adjusted, and gently anchored in the coronary sinus/great cardiac vein to reshape the annulus around the mitral valve to reduce mitral regurgitation
53 patients were enrolled 36 patients underwent successful permanent device implantation. Significant benefit in reductions in quantitative measures of functional MR Positive clinical outcomes: improvement in 6-min walk test, functional class, and quality of life In 17 of the 53 patients, the device could not be permanently implanted, due to difficulty cannulating the coronary sinus, ineffective reduction in MR, or compression of a coronary artery. The Carillon device received CE mark approval in Europe in 2011.

Valtech Cardioband 40 high-risk patients with significant secondary MR 93% had NYHA class III-IV symptoms, with a mean LV ejection fraction of 33.3%. Acute procedural success, defined as successful implantation with acute MR reduction to grade < 2+, was achieved in all but three patients (92%).
Valtech Cardioband At 30 days, the mortality rate was 5.0%. None of the deaths were considered device-related. NYHA Class I-II at 6 months (80%) and 12 months (70%) MR grade 2+ (85% and 94% at 6 and 12 months, respectively).
