Treating Mitral Regurgitation with MitraClip Therapy | Marcie Calfon Press, MD | UCLAMDChat

[@richyanderson6086]

My partner is 28 she is getting minimal invasion surgery next week. Very scary but exciting times... Thanks for the informative video

[@4gpm]

I attended a Mitralclip procedure just today as an anasthesia nurse. I was perfectly fit to perform the regular anasthesian standards, but: allthough watching the screens of the operator, I didn't really had a clue what was going on inside of the patient. Ms. Marcie Calfon explained the matter pretty well for me in general, as it did the cartoon from Abbott specifically. The video was very helpful, thank you.

Im here because my doctor suggested surgery and im scheduled for it in 2 months. He didnt explain this as well as you did. I was so so nervous. Thank you so much.

Hi Dr. Nice presentation however you did not address the a very important question which is . How long does this valve on valve lasts? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you

The MitraClip is intended to be a permanent device. It is designed to remain in the heart indefinitely once it has been implanted. The MitraClip procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for mitral valve regurgitation, where the clip is attached to the mitral valve leaflets to help them close more effectively, reducing the backflow of blood into the left atrium. The device is made of biocompatible materials that are designed to integrate with the heart tissue and withstand the mechanical stresses of the heart’s continuous movement over time. Once securely attached, the MitraClip remains in place and continues to provide support to the mitral valve throughout the patient's life. However, like all medical devices, there are potential risks and complications associated with its use. In some cases, if the MitraClip does not adequately reduce mitral regurgitation or if other complications arise, additional interventions may be necessary. This could include another MitraClip procedure, surgical repair, or mitral valve replacement. Despite these possibilities, the intention is for the MitraClip to provide a long-term solution for patients with mitral regurgitation.

Thank you doctor, your web seminar was fantastic. It’s very clear and informative. Great!.

I am a UK patient with a long history of Cardiac Issues including a 4 CABG 2 stents and a recent Biventrical Ablation with a CRT pacemaker, and shortly after been diagnosed with a Leaking Mitrel valve is this Mitrel clip available in the UK.

[@ingorichter649]

Very interesting and perfectly explained. During after heart attack diagnosis using ultrasonic medium leakage of both of my valves between the atria and ventricles was find out. Currently this causes no symptoms, but it will be monitored regularly at least twice a year. Now I know good option to let it repair minimal invasively, if necessary. Question: Is there existing comparable technique for the three leaflet valve between right atrium and ventricle?

[@a2zconference]

Thank you for the brilliant presentation.

[@randypullen1111]

Excellent presentation Dr. Press. Could I still opt for this procedure even if I'm not at risk for standard surgery? And Do all M.V.P conditions involve regurgitation? I recently spoke with an electrophysiologist here in Las Vegas NV who agreed to perform an rf ablation to treat my S.V.T condition however having researched further I read the there very well may be a connection between M.V.P and S.V.T. It makes sense to me that although correcting M.V.P could possibly correct the S.V.TS, the opposite seems less likely, causing me to reconsider having the ablation until I can get a second opinion from hopefully one of your expert cardiology physicians. Thank you for your concise Mitra Chip education!

[@erwinlagustan5517]

I think this is the answer to my heart-valve disease since I don't like open heart surgery. Is this available in other countries like the Philippines? How much it would cost? Thanks for the reply.

I have had leaky valves for four yrs.. they say there not bad enough too close? When is it time then .. I have all the symptoms

[@dennislurvey3235]

I have "mild' regurgitation, yet I almost died twice of pulmonary edema. How do I get doctors to realize even mild regurgitation can kill you and needs to be repaired?

Hello UCLA medical center, Dr. Marcie, I was told about pulmonary artery has 3 little valves, that are just a bit weak, blood oxygen back up causing a jumping symptom, where does it go to, in the body, is it one leg; belly or lungs. Never understood how the path ways in the body that allows fluid to wonder in different parts of body. Dentist do not know about micro chambers inside molars that allows bacteria to enter the body system. I am a world trade center medic, treating healthy dogs, two developed a heart problem resulting in the belly getting filled. I was able to perform a parenthesis removing water from their belly. I extended dogs life for 3 years until they died in my arms at home. Love your caring education thank you!

Hi Doc, thank you for the info... I'm diagnosed with Mitral and tricuspid regurgitations mild, at the age of 25 isn't fatal??

Can you compare and explain mitral clip with robotic repaire/replace of valve?

[@marylouirick7316]

She so sweet, God Bless Her.

[@soacramare8024]

what happens if mitraclip detach ?

[@drnureini7538]

that's one of the complications that could happen as discussed in 26:30 of the video. But good news is that it's extremely rare, there is only a 0.4% chance of that happening (look at where it says Device Embolism: 0.4%), thus being the rarest possible complication. Hope that helped.

[@dporter3510]

Does moderate disease qualify for the clip and if patient has kidney failure

[@manilyncalma3627]

I have MVP since I was 20.. right now I'm experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath more often,, do I need to undergo surgery ?

[@None-ww4ec]

Manilyn Calma only your doctor can answer, I have a severe case and I need to go surgery

[@StephanieFlores-bw8mq]

You should see your doctor. The heart begins to weaken with time. I have MVP for 2 years now and my doctor is suggesting surgery because of my worsening symptoms.

[@rashidkhan-xm4rl]

you feel skipped beats pac pvcs?

[@vcooper8278]

Since the clip is made to close the mitral valve just enough for the blood to flow thru it in the right direction, what prevents any leaking back up?

[@vcooper8278]

sorry I heard in the last part that it doesn't prevent regurg 100%. thanks, very informative video.

Madam, my best wishes, I need some help and treatment opinions for my sister aged. she is a heart patient with severe MS and MR but last year in December 2019 she has suffered ischemic stroke due to which she became paralyzed with right side, hand, leg and speaking ability. Then after 4 months she also suffered seazures. Now she is facing severe health issues like increasing of heart beats, shortness of breath, stomach problems and several other health issues. Madam, please guide me in brief which is the best way to treat my sister and give her ease.

[@patriciamitchell1263]

How often does use of 2 or more clips result in MV stenosis and resulting high pulmonary hypertension? In those cases, how have patients been treated to reverse stenosis and decrease resulting PHTN?

[@wereyourangels]

If the clips falls what will happen? What are they made of. Why does it requires time to time to input 2-3 clips when one is fine. Think about it this can damage a patient.

[@CelestialTrailblazer]

I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse), Mitral regurgitation, Mild tricuspid regurgitation, Chest pain, Shortness of breath, Multiple pulmonary nodules, Intestinal metaplasia of gastric cardia, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), Difficulty swallowing pills since birth. Shit! I guess its game over for me and I'm only 27.

Infection can also occur. There's so much questions but I leave it as that.

what is the cost of mittal clip procedure in us $

[@DeadlyCyanide1]

It probably cost your soul. I'm not even kidding I can't even get a hip replacement and I've needed one for 10 years nowbut I don't have the money to pay for the copay for it so I have gone a very long time without and I'm sure if I need this surgery which at some point I will I'll probably not be able to afford it and die lol. And that is the American health system at its best. I also have one of the best insurance plans.

U need to get rid of all 100% of the regurgitation not 80% or 50% lol their is still a risk of the patient not getting fully well and these days they can do a keyhole surgery.
