Real-world anticoagulatory treatment after percutaneous mitral valve repair using MitraClip: a retrospective, observational study on 1300 patients

Abstract

This large real-world data analysis demonstrates a heterogeneous spectrum of prescriptions for anticoagulant therapies after MitraClip. Considering relevant differences in clinical outcome across treatment groups, major effort is warranted for controlled trials in order to establish evidence-based recommendations on anticoagulatory treatment after percutaneous mitral valve repair.
