First United Kingdom Patients Treated With Percutaneous MitraClip(R) System
Date:11/26/2008

asive therapeutic alternative to surgery for repairing the mitral valve," said Ferolyn Powell, president and chief executive officer of Evalve. "The announcement of treatment of the first series of patients in the United Kingdom marks another notable milestone for those suffering from MR. We are pleased with the early acceptance and results of the MitraClip(R) therapy and will continue to work diligently to make the therapy available throughout the European Union."

About the MitraClip(R) Procedure

Percutaneous mitral repair with Evalve's MitraClip(R) device is performed by physicians in the catheterization laboratory. The heart beats normally during the procedure, and therefore does not require a heart-lung bypass machine. In addition to improving blood flow through the heart, the procedure may also relieve symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath that often affect patients with significant MR. After treatment, patients generally recover quickly. The MitraClip(R) device may improve quality of life and may help MR patients avoid or delay surgery, having preserved surgical options (valve repair or replacement) should surgery become necessary.
