MitraClip (mitral clip) is a medical device used to treat mitral valve regurgitation for individuals who should not have open-heart surgery. It is implanted via a tri-axial transcatheter technique and involves suturing together the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets.
For patients with the most common type of mitral valve disease, termed "degenerative" or "myxomatous" mitral valve disease, repair rates are very high and long term durability is excellent. [4] There has been great debate about timing of surgery in patients with asymptomatic mitral valve regurgitation.
Bioprosthetic valves are made from animal tissues. Most people with bioprosthetic valves don’t need to take anticoagulants long term. However, bioprosthetic valves may only last 10–15 years. [11] They tend to deteriorate more quickly in younger patients. [11] Valve failure prevalence at 10 years is 30%, increasing to 35–65% at 15 years. [13]
