A case report of delayed left ventricular rupture after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: clip entrapment in hypercontractile left ventricle
The entrapment of the clip between the hypertrophied papillary muscle and the hypercontractile LV wall may have caused a crack in the LV wall, disrupting the endocardium. In elderly patients with primary MR, especially those with commissural lesions and limited LV space, clinicians should be cautious of LV rupture even after the procedure.
