The transcatheter mitral valve interventions (TRAMI) registry was established in 2010 in order to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve therapy in Germany and to document baseline characteristics and decision-making in different subgroups of patients. The TRAMI registry is available to all German sites performing percutaneous mitral valve therapy. Follow-up is scheduled at 30 days, 1, 3, and 5 years. ⋯ The TRAMI registry is the largest real world cohort of patients treated with MitraClip®. As long as randomized studies in this high-risk cohort of patients are lacking, TRAMI provides important information on outcomes after MitraClip® therapy. The data are important for hypothesis generation for randomized trials and TRAMI is an important tool for quality assurance after percutaneous mitral valve therapy in Germany.
