Summary
This study tested a new, less invasive way to fix a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. The procedure uses a special device threaded through a blood vessel to tighten the valve like a purse-string, without open-heart surgery. Nineteen adults with functional mitral regurgitation took part to see if the device could be safely placed and reduce leakage.
