What is MitraClip™ Therapy approved for?

Available by prescription only.MitraClip therapy is a minimally invasive procedure approved for treating patients with clinically significant mitral regurgitation due to either (a) a deteriorated mitral valve but the patient is at very high risk for surgery, or (b) an improperly functioning mitral valve resulting from heart failure, with poor pumping of the blood by an enlarged heart, and who have reached maximal tolerance to medications. Patients should work with their doctor and a multidisciplinary heart team, which should include a heart surgeon and cardiologist with experience treating heart failure, to confirm their surgical risk or optimal medications. The heart team will determine if the patient meets the indications for the MitraClip procedure.
