Key result
Transjugular transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system successfully reduced mitral regurgitation from 4+ to 1+ in a patient with an occluded inferior vena cava.

Does transjugular transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip reduce mitral regurgitation in a patient with severe MR and an occluded IVC?
The transjugular approach is a viable alternative for transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system in patients with severe mitral regurgitation and an occluded inferior vena cava.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May enable MitraClip in occluded IVC; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Chizner et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Severe mitral regurgitation (n=1). Transjugular transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip was evaluated on Mitral regurgitation severity. Transjugular transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system successfully reduced mitral regurgitation from 4+ to 1+ in a patient with an occluded inferior vena cava.
