RESULTS Twenty-seven patients had six-month follow-up. Clips were implanted in 24 patients. There
were no procedural complications and four 30-day major adverse events: partial clip
detachment in three patients, who underwent elective valve surgery, and one patient with
post-procedure stroke that resolved at one month. Three additional patients had surgery for
unresolved MR, leaving 18 patients free from surgery. In 13 of 14 patients with reduction of
MR to 2 after one month, the reduction was maintained at six months.
