In this single-center real-world experience, 5-year after MitraClip, half of the patients were alive and 3/4 were free from MR, both in FMR and DMR. Symptoms benefit was sustained in both groups. Advanced ventricular remodeling, advanced symptoms, and suboptimal MR reduction were associated with worse results. Refined patient selection, improved efficacy and more data will be all required to improve long-term outcomes.
