Percutaneous Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair With MitraClip System in the Era of G4.

ABSTRACT: The use of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) in symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) has dramatically increased over the last few years. Current guidelines consider TEER as a reasonable option in symptomatic patients with primary or chronic secondary severe MR with high or prohibitive surgical risk and favorable anatomy. However, several anatomical and morphological mitral features have restricted the use of this mini-invasive technique in its early experience. The latest fourth generation (G4) of the MitraClip system has been recently introduced and includes the possibility of independent leaflet grasping and 4 different sizes. This technical update offers the possibility of selecting and combining multiple devices for complex mitral valve anatomi
