Two-year cardiac mortality after MitraClip treatment of functional mitral regurgitation in ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy

The ischemic or non-ischemic aetiology of DCM did not affect in-hospital and 2-year cardiac mortality after MitraClip in patients with FMR. In case of unfavorable baseline clinical condition, the indication for MitraClip should be carefully weighed in favour of conservative medical therapy alone or left ventricular assist device.
