Objective To systematically review the efficacy of MitraClip therapy in heart failure patients with mitral insufficiency. Methods Databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2014), EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched from October 2005 to October 2015 to collect before-after controlled studies about the efficacy of MitraClip therapy in heart failure patients with mitral insufficiency. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 9 studies involving 782 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with their conditions before treatment, patients after the MitraClip implantation had a declined NYHA class Ⅲ-Ⅳ ratio (RD=0.72, 95%CI 0.60 to 0.85, P<0.000 01), increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (MD=-2.97,95%CI -5.06 to -0.89,P<0.005) and improved performance in 6 min walk-test (6-MWT) (MD=-88.73, 95%CI -157.16 to -20.31, P=0.01). Conclusion MitraClip therapy can, to a certain extent, improve the cardiac function of patients with heart failure and mitral insufficiency. However, further studies are needed to confirm its effects on improving the long-term survival of patients.
