Fig. 5

Improvement in pulmonary artery pressure and diffusing lung capacity after the MitraClip procedure. a The pulmonary artery pressure decreased in patients with DLCO <  = 50% as well as in patients with DLCO > 50%. b The diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide increased in patients with DLCO <  = 50%, but not in the other patients. The gray horizontal bars denote mean values in subgroups. sPAP = Systolic pulmonary artery pressure, DLCO = Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide
