A new option for patients with Mitral Regurgitation (MR)

Mitral valve regurgitation is a condition that significantly weakens the heart and often leads to heart failure. It affects approximately four million people in the United States. ProMedica Toledo Hospital is now offering Abbott’s MitraClip® procedure, a minimally-invasive alternative for people who are not candidates for open-heart surgery. A northwest Ohio man was one of the first patients to undergo the procedure and says it has made a huge difference in his life. Graphics and animation provided by Abbott Vascular
