Interaction between renal function and percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using MitraClip

Renal dysfunction is common in MC patients and the survival rate decreased with eGFR in association with increased NT-pro BNP levels. MC may improve renal function in approximately 30% of MC patients. Improved renal function is associated with lower NT-pro BNP levels and results in satisfactory prognosis. These results implies a close association between renal function and MC treatment.
