Mitral valve (MV) repair with MitraClip system is a safe treatment option for high-risk patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR). We aimed to characterize, by three-dimensional echocardiography (3D-E), changes occurring in MV after implantation of third generation MitraClip XTWe prospectively enrolled 59 patients, who underwent intra-procedural 3D-E before and after device deployment. Three-D datasets were analyzed off-line, using a dedicated semiautomatic software, to obtain parametric quantification of mitral anatomy.Post-procedural MR of mild or lesser degree was achieved in 40 patients (68%), with no differences between FMR and DMR (p 0.9). After MitraClip XTMitraClip XT
