Abstract

Recurrent severe primary mitral regurgitation from annuloplasty ring dehiscence is very rare and is associated with adverse outcomes. We present a case where transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair with MitraClip was used in high surgical risk patient using a peri-ring approach due to unfavorable anatomy for a conventional intra-ring approach.

Keywords: MitraClip; mitral valve; ring dehiscence; valve repair.
