Emergency mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair successfully served as a bridge to surgery in an 80-year-old patient with cardiogenic shock and acute severe mitral regurgitation.
Emergency M-TEER may serve as a viable bridge to surgery to decrease perioperative risk in selected patients with acute mitral insufficiency and cardiogenic shock, even with unfavorable anatomy.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Emergency surgery is the gold standard for acute mitral insufficiency complicated by cardiogenic shock, but it is burdened by a high perioperative risk. The evidence on the potential benefit of emergency mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in the acute setting is lacking. We describe the successful emergency M-TEER in a 80 years old patient with a highly complex anatomy, as a bridge to surgery, in the setting of cardiogenic shock due to acute severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. M-TEER as a bridge to surgery could be considered to decrease perioperative risk in selected patients and enlarged to acute settings even under unfavorable anatomical conditions.
