What is MitraClip?

A transcatheter edge-to-edge repair device that clips the mitral valve leaflets together to reduce regurgitation, without open-heart surgery. For patients too high-risk for conventional surgery.

Why China?

  • Cost: $32,000-$45,000 vs. $80,000-$150,000 in the US
  • Experienced operators: Leading centers with 200+ MitraClip cases
  • Latest generation: MitraClip G4 available

Who is a candidate?

  • Severe symptomatic MR with high surgical risk (STS >8%)
  • Functional MR in heart failure patients (COAPT-eligible)
  • Anatomy suitable for edge-to-edge repair

Outcomes

MR reduction to ≤2+ in 95% of cases. 1-year mortality reduction: 38% vs medical therapy (COAPT trial). HF hospitalization reduction: 47%.
