CU Hospital is repairing a woman's leaky heart valve with minimally invasive surgery rather than open-heart surgery

AURORA, CO - JULY 17: An X-ray of the MitraClip delivery catheter vehicle, the MitraClip, and an ultrasound device are seen on a screen during a minimally invasive surgery at one of the University of Colorado Hospital's catheter labs on Thursday, July 17, 2014 in Aurora, CO. The MitraClip Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair System was used to repair a heart valve suffering from mitral regurgitation, a condition in which the heart's mitral valve leaflets do not close tightly.
