What is MitraClip™?

MitraClip™ is a simple procedure to fix your mitral valve.

During the procedure, doctors access the mitral valve with a thin tube (called a catheter) that is guided through a vein in your leg to reach your heart.

A small implanted clip is attached to your mitral valve to help it close more completely. This helps to restore normal blood flow through your heart.

This 45 minute procedure is performed to prevent a stroke. It requires no incisions or general anesthesia and can save your life!
