Summary

This study tests whether a minimally invasive clip repair (MitraClip) is as effective as open-heart surgery for people with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery. About 330 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments and followed for two years. The main goal is to compare rates of death, unplanned heart failure hospitalizations, and need for repeat valve procedures.
