How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

For minimally invasive MitraClip, the procedure takes 1–2 hours with a hospital stay of 1–2 days, and most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. For surgical repair or replacement, hospitalization is typically 5–7 days, with full recovery taking 6–8 weeks. Your cardiologist will provide a personalized plan, and follow-up monitoring is recommended at 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure.
