Summary
• MitraClip® therapy safely reduces DMR in patients at
prohibitive risk for MV surgery
• In this group of prohibitive risk DMR patients, MitraClip
therapy provides meaningful clinical improvements
• Reduction of LV volumes
• Improvements in NYHA Functional Class
• Improvements in Quality of Life
• Reduction in Hospitalizations for Heart Failure
FDA Approval
MitraClip Delivery System Approved by FDA on October 24, 2013.
Indication for Use:
“The MitraClip Clip Delivery System is indicated for the
percutaneous reduction of significant symptomatic mitral
regurgitation (MR ≥ 3+) due to primary abnormality of the mitral
apparatus [degenerative MR] in patients who have been
determined to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery by a
heart team, which includes a cardiac surgeon experienced in
mitral valve surgery and a cardiologist experienced in mitral valve
diseased, and in whom existing comorbities would not preclude
the expected benefit from reduction of the mitral regurgitation.
Definition of Prohibitive Risk: STS score of surgical MV repair
>6% or mitral valve replacement >8%

Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip
Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with
Functional Mitral Regurgitation
Purpose
• COAPT is a landmark trial to further study the
MitraClip device in symptomatic FMR patients with
heart failure
• COAPT is the first randomized controlled clinical trial
to compare non-surgical (medical) standard of care
treatment to a percutaneous intervention to reduce
MR
10/10/2015
20
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of
the MitraClip System for treatment of
functional mitral regurgitation (FMR ≥3+) in
symptomatic heart failure subjects who are
treated per standard of care and who have
been determined by the site’s local heart team
as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery
STS score is no inclusion or exclusion criterion!
