Abstract

The MitraClip device has been in US trials since 2003 and in clinical use internationally since 2008. A great deal has been learned about how to perform the procedure since its inception. This chapter details the technique of percutaneous mitral leaflet repair. The mechanics of the procedure and the associated echocardiographic and anatomic imaging necessary to understand the procedure are reviewed in a step-by-step guide. The chapter is of interest to anyone wishing to learn how to perform this novel therapy or for operators who wish to learn more. Cardiologists, cardiac catheterization lab nurses and technicians, and echocardiographic technicians will also find the chapter informative.
