Can the Gianturco-Grifka vascular occlusion device be used to successfully treat severe paravalvular mitral regurgitation in a patient ineligible for repeat surgery?
Transcatheter closure with the Gianturco-Grifka vascular occlusion device may be a feasible alternative for severe paravalvular mitral regurgitation in patients at prohibitive surgical risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May offer transcatheter option in prohibitive-risk paravalvular MR; leaves open need for prospective safety and durability data.
Eisenhauer et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Severe paravalvular mitral regurgitation and pulmonary edema (n=1). Transcatheter treatment with the Gianturco-Grifka vascular occlusion device was evaluated on Successful treatment. Transcatheter treatment with the Gianturco-Grifka vascular occlusion device successfully treated severe paravalvular mitral regurgitation in a patient ineligible for repeat surgery.
