Has anyone here had the MitraClip procedure?
What was the outcome? From what I've read and seen on YouTube videos, it narrows the mitral valve opening so there is less regurgitation, but there is still some. What I don't understand is how it wouldn't make it harder for the left Atrium to push blood through the mitral valve into the ventricle, causing stress on the Atrium. Or, am I missing something?
I've also read that there is a high incidence of Afib afterwards that wasn't there before. So would getting the Mitraclip be just trading one problem for another?
