Aims: Treatment strategies of high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) differ between disease based on functional and disease based on degenerative origin. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of surgical, percutaneous, or conservative treatment of MR according to MV mechanism, for high-risk patients.
Methods And Results: Survival outcomes of MitraClip, surgical, or conservative strategies were compared for 688 high-risk patients with functional MR and 275 with degenerative MR.
Background: Survival outcome after MitraClip treatment, compared with surgical or conservative treatment, is not well defined. We examined survival after MitraClip treatment in a large multicenter real-life setting.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively formed matched high-risk surgically and conservatively treated control cohorts to compare to a high-risk MitraClip cohort.
Percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip is an established treatment for patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) who are inoperable or at high risk for surgery. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) frequently coincides with MR, but only scarce data of the influence of AF on outcome after MitraClip is available. The aim of the current study was to compare the clinical outcome after MitraClip treatment in patients with versus without atrial fibrillation.

Methods: We pooled anonymised demographic and procedural data of 1151 consecutive MitraClip patients, from 13 Dutch hospitals.
