Early Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair After Myocardial Infarction

To explore the impact of early transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of acute functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction on the combined incidence of death and heart-failure associated hospitalisations at one-year follow-up, and quality of life and LV remodelling at two-year follow-up.

Prospective, multicentre, randomised, open-label, comparative effectiveness clinical trial for the treatment of clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation within 60 days after acute myocardial infarction, who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as inappropriate or too high risk for mitral valve surgery. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the MitraClip device (intervention group) or to no MitraClip device (Control group).
