MitraClip is a well-established method for treatment of mitral regurgitation. It is dedicated for patients who cannot undergo surgery. But we are facing some cases which are out of standard indication criteria and they are technically challenging and uncommon, finally with very good results. We present a case report of a man who suffered from severe mitral regurgitation after a previous surgical mitral valve repair.
This was successfully solved with MitraClip implantation.
