What is MitraClip Implantation?
MitraClip is a simple procedure to fix your mitral valve. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require opening of the chest. The mitral valve is accessed with a catheter (thin tube) that is guided in through a vein in your leg to reach your heart.
The small clip is attached to your mitral valve exactly where the valve leaflets don’t meet. The device assists in restoration of normal blood flow to your heart.
