Minimally invasive mitral valve repair reduces hospitalizations and deaths

In patients with heart failure and a poorly functioning heart valve, a minimally invasive procedure using a clip to repair the valve was safe, cut the rate of hospitalizations for heart failure by 47% and reduced deaths from any cause by almost 30% after five years of follow-up, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.
