Preprocedural myocardial fibrosis as identified by magnetic resonance imaging correlates with worse outcomes after MitraClip placement. Post‐MitraClip mitral regurgitation gradient >2 or ischemic cardiomyopathy also correlates with worse outcomes. In the literature, other variables are mentioned (e.g., severe tricuspid regurgitation, atrial fibrillation, postoperative mitral valve area and/or gradient) that correlate with worse post‐MitraClip outcomes.
