Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (MitraClip) 2026

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (MitraClip) with Dr. Shady Mansy

Transcatheter mitral valve repair is one of the latest medical technologies for treating mitral regurgitation without open-heart surgery. The MitraClip technique is an advanced option that helps patients rapidly improve heart function.

What is MitraClip?

MitraClip is a small device inserted via a catheter to help reduce mitral regurgitation by bringing the two leaflets of the mitral valve together. This technique is a safe alternative to open-heart surgery for many patients.

How is Mitral Valve Regurgitation Treated with a Catheter?

The MitraClip device is inserted through the femoral vein using a precise catheter, then guided into the heart using advanced imaging techniques to ensure the highest accuracy in clip placement.

Steps for MitraClip Implantation

• Thorough patient evaluation using echocardiography and advanced diagnostics.

• Catheter insertion through the femoral vein without a large incision.

• Guiding the clip inside the heart.

• Securing the valve leaflets to reduce regurgitation.

• Patient discharge from the hospital often within just one day.

Dr. Shady Mansi possesses extensive experience in this technique, making the procedure safer and more successful.
