MitraClip Procedure
MitraClip Procedure
The MitraClip procedure is an advanced minimally invasive treatment designed to repair a leaking mitral valve without the need for open-heart surgery. This innovative technique helps improve heart function and reduce symptoms, allowing patients to live a healthier and more active life.
At our center, we offer advanced MitraClip procedures using modern catheter-based technology and expert interventional cardiology care.
Why Choose the MitraClip Procedure?
What is the MitraClip Procedure?
During the procedure, a small device called a MitraClip is delivered to the heart through a catheter inserted in a vein (usually through the groin). The clip attaches to the mitral valve leaflets, helping them close more effectively and reducing the backward flow of blood.
This procedure improves heart function and reduces symptoms without the need for traditional open-heart surgery.
How is the MitraClip Procedure Performed?
Patient Preparation
The procedure is performed under anesthesia in a specialized cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Catheter Insertion
A thin catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin and guided to the heart.
Clip Placement
The MitraClip device is carefully positioned on the mitral valve to reduce leakage.
Valve Repair
The clip helps the valve close properly, reducing the backward flow of blood.
Who Needs the MitraClip Procedure?
The MitraClip procedure may be recommended for patients who have:
Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation
When the mitral valve does not close properly and causes blood to leak backward.
Symptoms of Heart Valve Disease
Shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, or swelling in the legs.
High Risk for Open-Heart Surgery
Patients who are not suitable candidates for traditional valve surgery.
Heart Failure Due to Valve Disease
Patients with weakened heart function caused by valve problems.
