Brian D. McCauley, Howard C. Herrmann, Tiffany Chen, Saif Anwaruddin

Abstract

We describe the case of an 83-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe secondary mitral regurgitation. This case highlights the role of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the MitraClip in the management of symptomatic functional mitral regurgitation in a surgically unfavorable patient. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
