VOYAGE study

The VOYAGE study was a clinical trial that evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a new heart device called the MitraClip in treating a condition called mitral regurgitation, where the heart's mitral valve leaks. It involved patients who couldn't undergo traditional surgery. The study found that using the MitraClip reduced the severity of leaks, improved patients' symptoms, and increased their survival rates. Overall, VOYAGE provided evidence that this minimally invasive procedure could be a beneficial alternative for high-risk patients needing mitral valve repair.
