MitraClip is a catheter-based heart device used to treat certain types of mitral regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve). It is delivered through a blood vessel and attached to the mitral valve leaflets to help them close more effectively. It is commonly used in structural heart programs for people who are not ideal candidates for open-heart surgery. The approach is often described as transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve.
