Multicenter StudyInitial French experience of percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip: a multicentre national registry.
Percutaneous mitral valve repair (MVR) using the MitraClip(®) is a new option for severe mitral regurgitation (MR). ⋯ This initial French experience, despite being in its learning phase, showed promising results in patients considered ineligible for surgery, as observed in more experienced centres. Randomized studies are mandatory to confirm these preliminary data.
