Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair with MitraClip Procedure
There are currently two treatment options for severe mitral regurgitation. The first option involves repairing or replacing the valve by open heart surgery, a procedure called mitral valve repair or replacement (MVR). The second option involves repairing the mitral valve using a catheter, avoiding open heart surgery. This procedure is often abbreviated TMVR which stands for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair, using a device called the MitraClip. The TMVR procedure is also known as the MitraClip procedure, or “Butterfly” repair procedure.
Westchester Medical Center is proud to be one of a few hospitals to offer TMVR in New York and the only one in Westchester County, Bronx and the greater Hudson Valley and Fairfield County, CT to offer this service. The Medical Center's heart specialists will perform transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) using the Abbott MitraClip, FDA-approved for the treatment of moderateto severe mitral regurgitation. This procedure will be performed in the Medical Center's new hybrid operating room. Take a look at the educational videos below, highlighting the procedure.
