Authors' recommendations:
After considering the strength of the available evidence in relation to safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, MSAC did not support public funding for the reduction of mitral regurgitation through tissue approximation using transvenous / transeptal techniques because of uncertain comparative safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness due to limited direct comparative data. MSAC considered it was difficult to define a clinical need in terms of the patient population likely to benefit.
