Who Requires a Transcatheter Mitra Clip Implantation?
As this is a cardiology-related procedure, here are some important factors to consider when determining who may need a TMCI.
People with Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation
So, mitral regurgitation surgery is primarily for patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation. In brief, this condition means the mitral valve does not close properly. That causes blood to flow backwards into the heart, effectively putting your heart and yourself at risk. This can be fatal if left untreated.
People Having These Symptoms
Shortness of breath, persistent tiredness, and swollen legs and feet are common symptoms that suggest you may require TMCI surgery. These issues typically point to your heart struggling to pump blood effectively.
High-Risk Patients
TMCI is ideal for individuals who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. This includes those due to age, existing health conditions, or previous heart surgeries. Hence, TMCI offers a safer alternative.
Medical Assessed Individuals
Our doctors carefully assess each patient to determine if TMCI is the right treatment option. Therefore, this includes a thorough review of your medical history, current health status, and specific heart conditions.

How Is TMCI Performed?
This is what you should know about how a mitral clip procedure is performed at hospitals:
Catheter Insertion
Your doctor is going to insert a thin and flexible tube. It is called a catheter. It is generally done through a large vein in your groin or neck. Using imaging technology, they will carefully guide it through your blood vessels to your heart. This will help them repair your mitral valve.
Valve Repair
The Mitra Clip helps the mitral valve close more effectively. Hence, this reduces the amount of regurgitation and improves overall heart function.
Procedure Duration
Any cardiac procedure takes a generous amount of time to be operated. A mitral clip procedure also requires around 2 to 4 hours for the entire process to take place. However, one might not be afraid. Since you will be under general anesthesia, you won’t be feeling anything.
Monitoring You Post the Procedure
After the mitral regurgitation surgery, you will stay in the hospital for monitoring. We do this to ensure you don’t suffer from any such complications. This also involves post-anaesthesia recovery. Also, this helps you to start your recovery process.
