Implantation of More than One MitraClip in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair: Friend or Foe?

AiM: Mitral valve repair by means of cardiac surgery is effective yet associated with peri-operative complications. Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) with MitraClip is emerging as a safe and effective alternative in high-risk patients. There is uncertainty however on the outlook of patients requiring >1 MitraClip for TMVR.
