MitraClip (MC) is a device that is implanted on the mitral valve (MV) percutaneously to treat severe mitral regurgitation (MR). It is common practice to place the MCs at the site of the most significant MR jets identified by echocardiography. We used computational modeling to examine changes in MR a...
