Outcomes with percutaneous mitral repair vs. optimal medical treatment for functional mitral regurgitation: systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) could be defined as a ventricular disease where mitral valve is structurally normal, left chambers are enlarged and mitral annulus is dilated with lack of coaptation of leaflets. Transcatheter mitral valve repair technique has broadened the therapeutic range in the treatment of severe MR. The aim of this study was to review outcomes of MitraClip vs. medical treatment for functional MR. We also planned to review the concept of functional MR, assessment of the degree, prognosis and therapy options. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The Medline through PubMed database was used to search. The present review included manuscripts published between January 2009 and September 2
