MitraClip (TEER) Procedure

MitraClip (TEER) Procedure – Minimally Invasive Treatment for Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Restore Heart Function Without Open-Heart Surgery

What Is the MitraClip / TEER Procedure?

MitraClip, also known as Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER), is a minimally invasive heart valve procedure designed to treat mitral valve regurgitation (MR) – a condition where blood leaks backward through the mitral valve due to improper closure.

This catheter-based mitral valve repair allows doctors to fix the valve without open-heart surgery. It is especially beneficial for high-risk or elderly patients who are not suitable for traditional valve surgery.

Why Is the MitraClip Procedure Done?

Mitral regurgitation can lead to:

Shortness of breath
Fatigue or weakness
Swelling in legs or feet
Irregular heart rhythms (atrial fibrillation)
Progressive heart failure if untreated

MitraClip is recommended when:

The patient has moderate to severe mitral regurgitation
Open-heart surgery is too risky
The patient is experiencing heart failure symptoms
A non-surgical valve repair option is preferred

How the TEER / MitraClip Procedure Works

Catheter Insertion: A catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin.
Guidance to the Heart: Using advanced imaging (TEE and fluoroscopy), the catheter is navigated to the mitral valve.
Clip Placement: The MitraClip device is positioned to bring the valve leaflets together, reducing or eliminating leakage.
Confirmation: The clip is secured, and the catheter is removed.

🕒 Procedure Time: 1–3 hours
🏥 Hospital Stay: 1–2 days
⏱️ Recovery Time: 3–7 days

Conditions Treated with MitraClip

Degenerative (primary) mitral regurgitation – due to aging or valve defects
Functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation – due to heart enlargement or failure
Patients with heart failure and leaking heart valves

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair

Benefit	Advantage for Patients
No open-heart surgery	Ideal for high-risk or elderly patients
Short recovery time	Back to daily life in under a week
Reduced hospitalizations	Especially for heart failure patients
Immediate symptom relief	Less shortness of breath and fatigue
FDA- and CE-approved device	Clinically proven for safety and results

Risks of MitraClip / TEER

Like any heart procedure, MitraClip has potential risks:

Bleeding or bruising at access site
Stroke or blood clots (rare)
Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
Device-related issues (very rare)

Your cardiology team will assess all risks and provide safe, personalized care.

Who Is Eligible for the MitraClip Procedure?

MitraClip is recommended for:

Patients with severe mitral regurgitation symptoms
Individuals not fit for open-heart surgery
Elderly patients or those with multiple health conditions
People with chronic heart failure caused by valve leakage
