Treatment of functional mitral regurgitation by percutaneous annuloplasty using the Carillon Mitral Contour System —Currently available data state

CONCLUSIONSResults with regard to reduction of MR and inverse LV remodeling have been remarkable. Indication and selection criteria for suitable patients, the expected complications, and the long‐term results with regard to survival and quality of life still remain unclear. The available results do not establish superiority of the Carillon Mitral Contour System and support the lack of a clear benefit. The approach with the Carillon Mitral Contour System should be limited to participants of prospective and randomized trials.
