The article was professionally consulted by a Cardiologist, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.Dilated cardiomyopathy can occur at any age. However, the most common and high-risk age group is from 20 to 50 years old, affecting the patient's ability to work and family life. Currently, Vinmec Hospital applies the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with the non-surgical mitral valve repair technique (Mitra-Clip), bringing good recovery for patients.
1. Pathogenesis
Dilated cardiomyopathy of various causes and unknown factors causes the left ventricle to dilate, then the right ventricle to dilate. When the chambers of the heart dilate, the heart muscle cannot contract normally and there is not enough blood supply to the organs. Myocardial dilatation often leads to tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation, causing the amount of blood when the heart contracts to be partially ejected back into the atria, reducing blood pumping efficiency. In addition, dilated cardiomyopathy also causes problems with arrhythmias, the formation of blood clots in the chambers of the heart due to stagnant circulation.
2. Treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with Mitra-Clip at Vinmec
Previously, to surgically treat mitral regurgitation due to dilated cardiomyopathy, open surgery had to be performed with many complications, long recovery time and had to depend on the patient's condition & comorbidities. Currently, Vinmec Hospital has applied the treatment of mitral valve prolapse with Mitra-Clip (endovascular intervention through catheter).

Advantages of the Mitra-Clip method
The success rate is as high as 95%, reducing the risk of vascular complications, complications and acute renal failure after the procedure. Recovery time is faster than open surgery. Technical process:
Mitra-Clip device will clamp the two open valve edges, creating a valve hole as shown in figure 8, significantly reducing the degree of valve regurgitation, preventing blood flow back into the heart chambers, helping the heart pumping blood more efficiently, thereby reducing symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life. During the procedure, the heart still works normally without the support from the heart-lung machines. Patients treated with Mitra-Clip only spend an average of 3 days in hospital, after which they can return to normal activities.
Why should you choose to treat dilated cardiomyopathy with Mitra-Clip at Vinmec?
This is a difficult technique that requires highly specialized doctors to perform with the support of standard medical equipment. Advantages when patients choose to be treated at Cardiology Center Vinmec Hospital
Cardiologists, trained directly by a team of foreign experts, have successfully performed mitral valve repair techniques through catheter (Mitra-Clip): , Doctor Nguyen Van Phong, Doctor Le Duc Hiep. With a modern equipment system, the Hybrid operating room is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as DSA dual-aspect angiography, Anesthesia system integrated with hemodynamic monitoring software. The cost of technical implementation at the Cardiovascular Center of Vinmec hospital is reasonable. Thanks to the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with the Mitra-Clip method, the patient does not need to undergo a surgery, the recovery time is only about 3 days, so he will quickly return to normal life and activities.
