Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) could be defined as a ventricular disease where mitral valve is structurally normal, left chambers are enlarged and mitral annulus is dilated with lack of coaptation of leaflets. Transcatheter mitral valve repair technique has broadened the therapeutic range in the treatment of severe MR. The aim of this study was to review outcomes of MitraClip vs. medical treatment for functional MR. We also planned to review the concept of functional MR, assessment of the degree, prognosis and therapy options. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The Medline through PubMed database was used to search. The present review included manuscripts published between January 2009 and September 2019. Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts of all publications, and performed the selection of studies and data extraction. In the case of disagreements, consensus meetings reached the final decision. Inclusion criteria were: (I) randomized controlled trials and (II) works must compare MitraClip versus optimal medical treatment. Transcatheter mitral valve repair along optimal medical treatment has been compared with optimal medical therapy in two different randomized trials. In the COAPT trial, the MitraClip group showed a significant reduction in mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations. In the MITRA-FR trial, no significant differences were observed between both groups. We reviewed important aspects of functional MR and performed a comprehensive review of both trials comparing them and focusing on their differences.
