The MitralClip (MC) is used for intervention therapy in serious mitral regurgitation. It is a metal implant with two arms, aimed at joining together the middle scallops of the mitral valve cusps and thus reduce the mitral mouth area, and thereby also the serious nature of mitral regurgitation. Surgery treatment of patients with isolated serious functional mitral insufficiency bears a high risk. The EVEREST II study confirmed that cardio-surgery for these patients is not superior to the intervention procedure. The less risky MC intervention can be more suitable in such cases and nevertheless also less effective. A successful intervention process depends on the quality of three-dimensional trans-esophageal echo-cardiography (3D TEE). Development of 3D TEE hardware and software will enable further improvement of MC methodology. This overview article related to intervention therapy of mitral insufficiency with MC is aimed at providing the latest information to readers.

Keywords: MitralClip; three-dimensional trans-esophageal echo-cardiography; mitral insufficiency scallops of mitral valve cusps
