MitraClip Procedure - Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
Mitral valve disease is one of the most common and serious heart valve disorders, yet only about 1.5% of patients receive appropriate treatment. Nearly 1 in 5 heart failure patients suffers from secondary mitral regurgitation. In fact, in the United States, mitral regurgitation is four times more common than aortic stenosis, affecting over 4 million patients with moderate to severe disease.
If you are seeking a clinically proven, safe, and non-surgical treatment for primary or secondary mitral regurgitation, the MitraClip Procedure | Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair offers an effective solution.
Unlike open-heart surgery , the MitraClip procedure does not require a heart-lung machine and is performed while the heart continues to beat. At The Valve Clinic, the procedure is performed by Dr. Ankur Phatarpekar, a highly experienced structural heart specialist in minimally invasive valve interventions. Clinical data also shows that over 96% of patients remain free from device-related complications at 12 months, making MitraClip a trusted and advanced treatment option.

Symptoms & Diagnosis of Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation, commonly known as a leaky valve, occurs when the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the heart. Over time, this can lead to Severe MR or Functional MR, increasing the risk of heart failure and other complications.
If left untreated, a leaky mitral valve can significantly impact heart function and quality of life. Early diagnosis through echocardiography and clinical evaluation helps determine the severity of MR and whether advanced mitral regurgitation treatment such as MitraClip is suitable.
Common Symptoms of Mitral Regurgitation
Patients with severe or functional mitral regurgitation may experience:
Shortness of breath, especially during activity or while lying down
Persistent fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance
Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet due to fluid buildup

Patient Reviews
Patient FAQ's
The most common symptoms of mitral valve disease or mitral valve regurgitation are irregular, rapid, or fluttering heartbeat, extreme fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are both treatment options to fix a leaky heart valve or mitral valve disease. Mitral valve replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased valve with an artificial valve.
On the other hand, mitral valve repair may involve minimally-invasive techniques to repair a mitral valve, for example, a MitraClip implantation therapy, which clips the leaky valve.
A MitraClip implantation repairs diseased or damaged mitral valve. It is indicated for patients suffering from secondary or functional mitral regurgitation or primary or degenerative mitral regurgitation. It is especially recommended to patients for whom surgery is a risky option.
MitraClip implantation has proven to be a safe and effective procedure, and has reduced mitral regurgitation disease with a success rate of 95.8%.
The cost of MitraClip implantation in India depends on the type of clinic, the experience of your cardiologist, and your overall health condition. The Valve Clinic offers the most affordable cost of MitraClip therapy for functional mitral regurgitation.
The MitraClip (mitral valve clip procedure) is a minimally invasive treatment for mitral regurgitation. A small clip is placed on the mitral valve to reduce backward blood flow without open-heart surgery.
Patients with Severe MR or Functional MR, especially those at high risk for surgical mitral valve repair, may be eligible. Final suitability is determined after heart imaging and specialist evaluation.
Yes. The Mitra clip procedure has a strong clinical track record with high success rates and proven safety, supported by long-term global data.
The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on valve anatomy and patient condition.
