📖 What is MitraClip (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair)?
The mitral valve sits between the left upper chamber (left atrium) and left lower chamber (left ventricle) of the heart. It has two flaps (leaflets) that close tightly with each heartbeat so blood flows forward to the body. In mitral regurgitation (MR), the valve does not close properly and blood leaks backwards into the lungs. Severe MR causes breathlessness, tiredness, swollen legs and heart failure, and can shorten life if not treated.
MitraClip, also called transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), is a minimally invasive procedure. A thin tube (catheter) is passed from a vein in the groin up into the heart. Guided by 3D ultrasound from the food pipe (TEE) and X-ray, a small metal clip covered with fabric is attached to both leaflets where the leak is worst, joining them together and reducing the leak. The heart keeps beating throughout, there is no chest cut, and most patients walk the next day.
🖼️ Understand It in Pictures
💡 In simple words
In mitral regurgitation, the mitral valve does not close fully and blood leaks backward with each beat. In MitraClip repair, a small clip is taken through a vein in the groin to the heart and clips the leaflets together to reduce the leak, without opening the chest. It is usually for people at high risk with open surgery.

🩺 Who May Benefit from MitraClip?
🫀
Degenerative (primary) MR
Floppy or torn valve leaflets (prolapse/flail) in patients at high risk for surgery.
💔
Functional (secondary) MR
Leak caused by a weak, enlarged heart, despite best heart failure medicines (COAPT criteria).
👴
Elderly or frail patients
Usually over 75 or with many other illnesses that make open surgery risky.
🫁
Lung or kidney disease
Patients whose lung or kidney problems increase surgical risk.
🔁
Previous heart surgery
Prior bypass or valve surgery making repeat open surgery dangerous.
🏥
Repeated heart failure admissions
Symptoms persisting despite optimal medicines and devices.
⚠️ Symptoms of Severe Mitral Regurgitation
- ➤Breathlessness on exertion or lying flat
- ➤Waking at night breathless
- ➤Tiredness and weakness
- ➤Swelling of feet and ankles
- ➤Palpitations or irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
- ➤Reduced ability to walk or climb stairs
- ➤Repeated hospital admissions for heart failure
- ➤Cough, especially at night
💡 MitraClip is not the first choice for every leaking valve. Younger, fitter patients with degenerative MR usually do better with surgical mitral valve repair, which gives a more durable result. Mild or moderate MR is treated with medicines and monitoring. For functional MR, heart failure medicines and, if needed, CRT pacing are optimised first. Some valve shapes are not suitable for a clip; transcatheter mitral valve replacement or surgery may be considered instead.
🔬 Tests Before Treatment
| Test | Why it is done |
|---|---|
| Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) | Measures the leak severity, heart size and pumping strength (EF). |
| Transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE, 3D) | Detailed view of valve anatomy to confirm the clip is suitable. |
| Coronary angiography | Checks for blocked arteries that may need treatment. |
| CT scan (selected cases) | Assesses anatomy if other transcatheter options are considered. |
| NT-proBNP, kidney function and blood tests | Assess heart failure severity and fitness for the procedure. |
| Heart team and surgical risk score (STS) | Cardiologist and surgeon decide together if MitraClip is the best option. |
🏥 The Procedure — Step by Step
1
Heart team review
Interventional cardiologist, cardiac surgeon and imaging expert review your echo and TEE.
2
Admission and preparation
Blood tests, blood thinner adjustment and fasting.
3
Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia (or deep sedation) to allow TEE guidance.
4
Venous access
A catheter is placed into the femoral vein in the groin.
5
Transseptal puncture
A small opening is made in the wall between the upper heart chambers to reach the left atrium.
6
Clip positioning
Using 3D TEE and X-ray, the clip is steered to the mitral valve and aligned with the leak.
7
Grasping the leaflets
The clip arms grasp both leaflets, joining them in the middle.
8
Checking and releasing
The leak and valve pressure are checked; if good, the clip is released (a second clip may be added).
9
Recovery
The catheter is removed; about 1 day in ICU/CCU, then ward care and walking.
10
Discharge
Echo before discharge on day 3–5; medicines and follow-up plan given.
⚖️ Treatment Options for Severe MR
| Option | What is done | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| MitraClip / TEER – single clip (this package) | One clip joins leaflets via groin vein | High surgical risk; leak in one area |
| MitraClip – two clips | Two clips for a wider leak | Broader leaks needing more coverage |
| Surgical mitral valve repair | Open or minimally invasive heart surgery | Younger, fit patients with degenerative MR |
| Mitral valve replacement (surgical or transcatheter) | Valve replaced with artificial valve | Valves not suitable for repair or clip |
| Optimal medical therapy | Heart failure medicines, CRT pacing | Functional MR, first-line |
📊 In the COAPT trial (NEJM 2018), MitraClip plus medicines in heart failure patients with severe functional MR reduced heart failure hospitalisations by about 47% and deaths at 2 years from 46% to 29%, compared with medicines alone.
📅 Your Day-by-Day Plan in India
| Day | What happens |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Arrival in India ✈️, airport pick-up and hotel check-in |
| Day 2–3 | Structural heart consultation, echo, TEE, angiography and heart team decision |
| Day 4 | Admission and MitraClip procedure; about 1 day in ICU/CCU |
| Day 5–8 | Ward care, walking, echo check – discharge (3–5 days in hospital) |
| Day 9–12 | Rest at hotel; groin site check and medicine adjustment |
| Day 13–14 | Final review with echo if needed – Fly home ✈️ |
🌱 Recovery After Treatment
🏥
Day 1
ICU/CCU monitoring; lie flat for a few hours to protect the groin site.
🚶
Day 2–4
Walking around the ward; breathing often feels easier quickly.
🏨
Week 1–2
Light activity at hotel; avoid heavy lifting for 1 week.
💊
Weeks 1–6
Blood thinner (aspirin/clopidogrel or anticoagulant) and heart failure medicines as advised.
💪
Month 1–3
Gradually increase walking; cardiac rehabilitation if available.
🔍
1 month, then yearly
Echo to check the clip and leak; heart failure care continues.
🏆 Success Rate
| Outcome | Result |
|---|---|
| Clip implant success | About 90–95% |
| Leak reduced to moderate or less | About 90%+ in modern series |
| 30-day mortality | About 1–3% |
| Heart failure admissions (COAPT) | Reduced about 47% at 2 years |
| Symptom improvement (NYHA class) | Most patients improve by 1+ class |
Results depend on valve anatomy, heart pumping strength, kidney function, how well heart failure medicines are taken, and the experience of the structural heart team. MitraClip improves symptoms and quality of life but does not cure heart failure, so medicines and follow-up remain essential.
🩹 Risks & Possible Complications
MitraClip is much less invasive than open surgery, but it is still a heart procedure.
- •Groin bleeding or bruising (common, usually minor)
- •Need for blood transfusion (about 2–5%)
- •Single leaflet device attachment – clip detaches from one leaflet (about 1–2%)
- •Residual or recurrent leak needing repeat procedure
- •Narrowing of the valve (mitral stenosis) – uncommon
- •Stroke (about 1%)
- •Small hole in the atrial septum that usually needs no treatment
💰 Cost of MitraClip (TEER) in India
The cost of MitraClip (transcatheter mitral valve repair) in India starts from about USD 25,000 for a single-clip procedure in a twin-sharing room, including the original MitraClip device, procedure, anaesthesia, TEE guidance, about 1 day in ICU and 3–5 days in hospital. A single room or a second clip increases the cost.
| Option / Hospital tier | Approx. cost (USD) | Hospital stay | Notes |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
➤ What is the cost of MitraClip in India?
A single-clip MitraClip procedure starts from about USD 25,000 in a twin-sharing room. A single room costs about USD 27,000 and two clips about USD 32,000.
➤ How long will I stay in hospital and in India?
About 3–5 days in hospital including about 1 day in ICU. Total stay in India is usually 10–14 days.
➤ Who is a good candidate for MitraClip?
Patients with severe mitral regurgitation and symptoms who are at high risk for open-heart surgery, and selected heart failure patients with functional MR despite best medicines.
➤ Is it open-heart surgery?
No. The clip is placed through a vein in the groin. There is no chest cut, and the heart keeps beating.
➤ Will I be asleep?
Usually yes, under general anaesthesia, because a TEE probe is placed in the food pipe to guide the procedure.
➤ How soon will I feel better?
Many patients breathe more easily within days. Full benefit is usually seen over 1–3 months.
➤ What is the success rate?
The clip is successfully implanted in about 90–95% of patients, and most have the leak reduced to moderate or less.
➤ What are the risks?
Groin bleeding, clip detachment from one leaflet, stroke (about 1%) and remaining leak. Serious complications are uncommon in experienced centres.
➤ Why might I need two clips?
If the leak is wide, a second clip may be needed to reduce it enough. This is decided during the procedure using 3D echo.
➤ Is MitraClip better than surgery?
For younger, fit patients, surgery usually gives a more durable repair. For high-risk patients, MitraClip offers a safer option with faster recovery.
