ACCESS-Europe A Two-Phase Observational Study of the MitraClip® System in Europe

The MitraClip System includes a MitraClip device, a Steerable Guide Catheter, and a MitraClip Delivery System that enables placement of the MitraClip device on the mitral valve leaflets

The Non-Surgical Medically Managed Heart Failure (HF) Group consists of patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) in whom the MR is managed non-surgically based on standard hospital clinical practice. Patients with MR who receive a pacemaker, Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) and/or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) treatments may be included

The Mitral Valve Surgery Group consists of patients with MR in whom the MR is managed surgically (repair or replacement) based on standard hospital clinical practice. Patients with concurrent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or aortic/tricuspid valve or and other cardiac procedure except atrial fibrillation surgery are excluded.
