Femoral venous access + transseptal puncture
4
Clip delivery system advanced to left atrium
5
3D TEE-guided clip positioning across mitral leaflets

Assess residual MR (target ≤ 2+) — deploy additional clip if needed
8
Clip release + catheter removal + hemostasis

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%.

Evidence & Reference Standards

Our cardiac care protocols align with major international cardiology societies:

AHA · American Heart Association
Clinical Practice Guidelines
Class I/IIa recommendations for ACS, heart failure, valvular and structural heart disease — applied to every cardiac plan we coordinate.
ACC · American College of Cardiology
Guidelines & Quality Standards
Risk-stratification and procedural appropriateness criteria that frame our pre-op assessment and revascularization decisions.
ESC · European Society of Cardiology
ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines
European reference for STEMI/NSTEMI, AF management and structural intervention — used to cross-check Chinese-hospital cath-lab protocols.
Comparator · Reference
Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute
Top-ranked U.S. cardiac programme; our partner hospitals match procedural volume and outcomes at substantially lower cost via JCI-accredited tertiary centres.
