Case report describes transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in a patient with double inferior vena cava, highlighting anatomical challenges during procedural vascular access.
A transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is disseminating gradually as a treatment for primary and secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with high surgical risk. In performing TEER, securing a safe access route is crucial. We report a case with a challenging access route due to the presence of a double inferior vena cava (IVC) and the patient's small body habitus.
