INDICATIONS TO PERFORMING THE MITRACLIP PROCEDURE

• mitral valve failure of medium and high severity;
• existing contraindications to an open heart operation.

TREATMENT OF MITRAL INSUFFICIENCY PERFORMED AT THE RCMC

The MitraClip implantation operation is performed under anesthesia. The MitraClip device is introduced through the leg of the patient, and is guided toward the heart. All the manipulations are carried out under X-ray control. The surgeon fixes the device on valve leaflet thus tightening them, which results in normalization of blood flow.

Application of this minimally invasive procedure makes it possible to reduce the patient's recovery period while the improved state can be felt immediately after coming out of anesthesia.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• infectious inflammations of mitral valve;
• rheumatic disease of mitral valve;
• thrombosis;
• intolerance of blood-thinning pharmaceuticals.
