Fidel MartÃnez Ruiz I agree with Robert and Yumiko, I guess you have now your mitral valve replaced by a biological one and as far as I know, Mitra Clip is not used for this application. There are other options. My surgeon told me after performing the mitral replacement that in the future when bio valve degenerates, the option will be valve in valve, placing other valve on the previous bioprosthesis. Anyway, what counts is your doctor's opinion.
