ABSTRACT

A regurgitação mitral (RM) é a doença valvar mais prevalente nos Estados Unidos e sua prevalência aumenta a cada ano devido ao envelhecimento populacional. Independentemente da etiologia, a RM sintomática grave cursa com prognóstico desfavorável. O procedimento cirúrgico ainda é o tratamento padrão para essa patologia; porém, como vários pacientes não são submetidos à cirurgia devido ao alto risco, o tratamento percutâneo com MitraClip surgiu como opção viável. A segurança, eficácia e durabilidade do reparo valvar percutâneo com MitraClip já foram demonstradas em estudos randomizados e, com isso, sua indicação vem-se expandindo


Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valve disease in the United States and its prevalence is increasing every year due to population aging. Regardless of the etiology, severe symptomatic MR presents with an unfavorable prognosis. The surgical procedure is still the standard treatment for this pathology, however, various patients do not receive this treatment because of a high surgical risk, and percutaneous treatment with MitraClip has emerged as a viable option. The safety, efficacy, and durability of percutaneous valve repair with the MitraClip have already been demonstrated in randomized trials, and as a result, its indication has been expanding
