Details.
A less invasive mitral valve repair procedure for eligible patients with severe mitral regurgitation, including high-risk surgical patients. The MitraClip is implanted through a small incision in the groin to join the mitral valve leaflets. Mount Sinai uses advanced imaging techniques, including three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography, to assess candidacy and monitor progress. The procedure may take one to three hours, or longer depending on case complexity.
