Belgian Mitraclip Registry
Belgian Mitraclip Registry
The primary objective of the registry is to investigate and follow all patients treated with
 the MitraClip System in Belgium. This information is intended to contribute to decision
 making with regards to MitraClip therapy selection in patients with mitral regurgitation: (a)
 by establishing the clinical value of the MitraClip therapy in the continuum of care; and (b)
 by providing practical information that will allow physicians to make therapeutic decisions,
 assist hospitals to make purchasing decisions, and assist insurers/government in making
 coverage decisions.

 In addition national data will be shared with European registries in order to increase the
 knowledge about the efficacy of this new technique.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  severe mitral regurgitation

 -  symptomatic (NYHA class>1) despite optimal medical therapy

 -  suitable anatomy for mitraclip implantation

 -  too high risk for cardiac surgery
