Incidence and in-hospital Safety Outcomes of Patients undergoing Percutaneous Mitral Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair Using MitraClip ® - 5 year German national patient sample including 13,575 implants.
CONCLUSIONS: MitraClip® implantations increased markedly 5.4-fold between 2011 and 2015, with a constant in-hospital mortality and MACCE rate. Our data indicate that edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in MitraClip® technique has acceptable in-hospital safety outcomes in a real world scenario. PMID: 30666965 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of Procedure Volume on the Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusion Patients treated in very low volume centers (≤25 operations/year) had a similar risk regarding in-hospital mortality and most complications compared with very high-volume centers (>100 operations/year). Only in the case of acute kidney injury, very high-volume centers showed better outcomes than very low volume centers. Therefore, surgical aortic valve replacement can be performed safely independent of case volume.
