Percutaneous mitral valve repair in acute mitral regurgitation: case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Acute mitral regurgitation is a heterogeneous and life-threatening pathology, with severe hemodynamic consequences and extremely adverse outcomes. Traditionally, the definitive treatment is prompt surgical intervention after hemodynamic stabilization. Nowadays, however, percutaneous repair of mitral valve with MitraClip device has emerged as a safe and effective therapeutic option. Evidences in this field are still scarce. Hereby, we report the case of an 82-year-old woman with lateral ST-elevation myocardial infarction determining severe acute mitral regurgitation (MR) with an asymmetric leaflet tethering mechanism. Due to prohibitive operative risk and unstable hemodynamic status, the patient underwent a successful urgent MitraClip procedure with optimal reduction of MR and immediate hemodynamic improvement. Moreover, we provide a review of the available literature regarding the echocardiographic assessment of acute MR, results of published cases and possible management of this complex pathology.
