MitraClip as bridge to mitral valve replacement in the setting of ischemic cardiogenic shock and papillary muscle rupture

Eric E Vinck et al. Acta Chir Belg. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

MitraClip implantation has been reported in severe mitral regurgitation following ischemic papillary muscle rupture in surgically high-risk patients with cardiogenic shock. Here we present a case of a 68-year-old female patient who suffered an ischemic papillary muscle rupture resulting in severe mitral prolapse and had a MitraClip implanted. Three months later, due to progressive symptoms, she was taken to surgery and had an elective minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Informed consent was given and ethics board approval was obtained.

Keywords: Ischemic mitral regurgitation; MitraClip; bridge therapy; peri-areolar.
