[Interpretation of Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology consensus recommendations on the use of MitraClip for mitral regurgitation].

The Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology proposed an expert consensus on the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) using transcatheter edge-to-edge repair technique (the representative product: MitraClip) in 2021. The expert panel reviewed the latest literature to develop consensus recommendations on the use of MitraClip for treating MR. The current article combines the current situation of MR treatment in China and provides a comprehensive interpretation and reflection on the consensus in terms of the concept and classification of MR, and the use of MitraClip for the treatment of degenerative and functional MR, thereby providing valuable reference for the clinical practice of MR treatment in China.
