Summary

This study looked at 54 people with severe mitral regurgitation who received the MitraClip device. Researchers used heart MRI and ultrasound before, right after, and 6 months after the procedure to see how the heart's shape and function changed. The goal was to understand the heart's remodeling process, not to test a new treatment.
