Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Implantation of the MitraClip has become the most frequently used percutaneous technique to treat significant (grade 3+ or 4+) mitral regurgitation (MR) in elderly patients deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk. In Europe, about two-thirds of patients treated with the MitraClip suffer from MR of functional origin secondary to ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy. At present, there is debate among operators on whether stabilizing/supporting a single adequately implanted clip with a second clip is beneficial for patients with functional MR.

Detailed Description

In Europe, about two-thirds of patients treated with the MitraClip suffer from MR of functional origin secondary to ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy. At present, there is debate among operators on whether stabilizing/supporting a single adequately implanted clip with a second clip is beneficial for patients with functional MR.

Purpose To demonstrate the noninferiority of a 1-clip strategy vs. a 2-clip strategy of MitraClip implantation, when the second clip in the 2-clip study arm is implanted for stabilizing/supporting purposes.
