Overview

MitraClip Surgery in Jaipur - Dr. Amit Gupta

MitraClip offers a groundbreaking solution for heart valve leaking without the need for open-heart surgery. It involves a minimally invasive procedure where a small clip is inserted via a catheter to repair the mitral valve. This innovative approach effectively reduces leakage by grasping the leaflets of the valve, restoring proper function without the necessity of traditional surgery. MitraClip provides a safer and less invasive alternative for patients who may be deemed high-risk or ineligible for open-heart procedures. With its ability to improve symptoms and enhance quality of life, MitraClip represents a significant advancement in the treatment of heart valve leaking. Book an appointment with Dr. Amit Gupta (Interventional Cardiologist in Jaipur).

What is MitraClip?

The MitraClip is a small device designed to address leakage in the mitral valve. It is utilized in a minimally invasive procedure known as transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), where it is positioned on the mitral valve using a flexible catheter.

The mitral valve regulates blood flow between the lower left chamber (ventricle) and the upper left chamber (atria) of the heart. When the mitral valve fails to close properly, it leads to leakage, a condition called mitral valve regurgitation. This leakage places additional strain on the heart, potentially resulting in atrial fibrillation (AFib) or heart failure.

As blood moves through the mitral valve, its flaps open and close to facilitate flow. The MitraClip assists in aligning these flaps more effectively, enhancing their opening and closing mechanisms.

Patients with severe regurgitation who are not suitable candidates for traditional mitral valve repair or replacement surgery may be recommended for the MitraClip procedure by their cardiologist. This option may be particularly advantageous for older individuals or those with underlying health issues who may not be ideal candidates for surgical interventions.

Benefits of MitraClip

MitraClip procedures provide notable advantages over traditional open-heart surgery for mitral valve disease due to the absence of a large chest incision. Patients undergoing MitraClip experience faster recovery times, spend less time in the hospital, and encounter fewer complications. Additionally, patients often report reduced pain following catheter-based procedures.

Furthermore, MitraClip offers immediate relief from symptoms. Many individuals notice improvements in shortness of breath, palpitations, and fatigue immediately after the procedure. This enhanced well-being facilitates a quicker return to regular activities.

About Doctor

How to Prepare for a MitraClip Procedure

Preparing for a MitraClip Procedure involves following specific instructions provided by your care team. You may be required to temporarily discontinue certain medications prior to the treatment.

Additionally, you will likely undergo several tests to assess your heart’s structure and function, aiding your interventional cardiology team in planning the MitraClip procedure. These tests may include:

  • Chest X-ray to examine the structure of your heart
  • Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow within your heart
  • Echocardiogram to assess both the anatomy and blood flow of your heart
  • Electrocardiogram to monitor your heart rhythm

What to Expect During the Mitral Valve Clip Procedure

What to Expect During the Mitral Valve Clip Procedure

During the Mitral Valve Clip Procedure, the MitraClip is implanted in an inpatient setting within the cardiac catheterization lab. The entire procedure typically lasts between two to three hours. Patients are administered anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. A specialized team comprising an interventional cardiologist, an interventional echocardiographer, and an anesthesia specialist collaborates to carry out the procedure.

Prior to the procedure, patients are connected to an electrocardiogram machine to monitor their heart’s electrical activity. Additionally, they are linked to monitoring devices for heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and blood pressure.

During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist:

  • Makes a small incision in the groin area to access the femoral vein, a large blood vessel responsible for transporting blood to the heart.
  • Inserts a catheter through the incision.
  • Guides the catheter through the vein up to the heart with the assistance of X-ray and echocardiography.
  • Utilizes a small tool at the catheter’s tip to create a tiny hole in the heart chamber wall.
  • Positions the catheter near the mitral valve.
  • Inserts the clip through the catheter and places it at the edges of the mitral valve to prevent leakage.
  • Once the clip is properly positioned, the interventional cardiologist removes the catheter and closes the small incision in the groin.

MitraClip Recovery

Following a MitraClip procedure, many individuals experience immediate symptom relief. Typically, patients spend one to two days under close monitoring by our cardiac team in the hospital.

Upon discharge, your cardiologist will provide you with specific instructions for ongoing recovery at home. This may include the prescription of aspirin or other medications to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.

One month post-surgery, our team will assess the functionality of your heart valve to ensure the clip is functioning effectively. Additionally, annual visits with your cardiologist are recommended to monitor the long-term efficacy of the clip.

    HELPING PATIENTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE!

    The MitraClip procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for mitral valve regurgitation, a condition where the mitral valve fails to close properly, causing blood to leak backward into the heart. During the procedure, a small clip is inserted through a catheter a

    Suitable candidates for the MitraClip procedure typically include individuals with symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation who are deemed high-risk or ineligible for traditional open-heart surgery. Candidates are evaluated based on factors such as the severity of their condition, overall health status, and anatomical suitability for the procedure.

    While the MitraClip procedure is generally considered safe, potential risks and complications may include bleeding, infection, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), stroke, heart attack, device migration, and allergic reactions to anesthesia or the device materials. Additionally, there is a small risk of incomplete sealing of the mitral valve, necessitating further intervention.

    The MitraClip procedure typically takes between two to three hours to complete. Following the procedure, patients typically spend one to two days in the hospital for monitoring. Recovery involves gradually returning to normal activities, with most patients experiencing immediate symptom improvement and a relatively quick return to daily routines.

    The MitraClip procedure has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms associated with mitral valve regurgitation, improve heart function, and enhance quality of life in many patients. Success rates vary depending on factors such as the severity of the condition and patient-specific characteristics, but overall, the procedure has demonstrated favorable outcomes in a significant portion of patients.

     

    Following the MitraClip procedure, patients are typically advised to maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and medication adherence as prescribed by their healthcare provider. Regular follow-up appointments with a cardiologist are also recommended to monitor progress, assess valve function, and address any potential complications.
