The objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority for clinical efficacy of an endovascular treatment strategy with the MitraClip® in comparison with a surgical treatment strategy in patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation judged eligible for anatomical repair with the MitraClip® or mitral valve surgery with high surgical risk.
This trial is a French and Monegasque, multicenter and randomized trial. Patients enrolled will be clinically followed for 2 years ( clinical visit at 1 month, at 6 months and 12 months, phone call at 18 months and clincial visit at 24 months).
