AI Article Synopsis
- Previous studies have indicated that the MitraClip procedure can mimic a mitral annuloplasty by reducing the size of the mitral valve annulus.
- An 87-year-old woman with serious mitral regurgitation had positive results after receiving a single MitraClip, which both shortened the mitral annulus and significantly reduced her regurgitation jets.
- The findings suggest that even in cases with multiple regurgitation jets, deploying just one clip could effectively lessen mitral regurgitation if it achieves the annuloplasty effect.
Article Abstract
Background: Previous reports have shown a mitral annuloplasty-like effect after MitraClip, i.e. a shortening of the anterior-posterior diameter of mitral valve annulus. However, the clinical benefit of this phenomenon is unclear.
Case Summary: An 87-year-old woman with multiple degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) jets, including a central-medial jet and a lateral jet, underwent MitraClip procedure. After a single clip implantation, anterior-posterior diameter of mitral annulus was shortened and both MR jets were significantly reduced.
Discussion: Even in the case of multiple MR jets, a single clip deployment with the MitraClip system may provide an acceptable MR reduction if the clip shows the mitral annuloplasty effect.
