Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair as a Bridge to Recovery in Patient With Severe Mitral Regurgitation, Advanced Left Ventricular Dysfunction and ECMO Support: A Case Report

Currently, there is limited evidence supporting the use of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation in patients with cardiogenic shock. Moreover, the evidence is even scarcer when considering the application of this intervention in the context of mechanical circulatory support. Here, we present a successful case of a MitraClip implantation as a bridge to recovery in a young patient with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute organic mitral valve regurgitation and severe left ventricular dysfunction that required ECMO support. A detailed description of the procedure is provided.
