Key result
Percutaneous retrieval of an embolized transcatheter mitral valve repair clip causing an acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was successfully performed via a transfemoral aortic approach.
Why the study?
Mitral valve repair clip detachment and embolization is a rare phenomenon with few reported cases.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous transfemoral retrieval of an embolized transcatheter mitral valve repair clip causing acute myocardial infarction.
Demonstrates feasibility of transfemoral retrieval for embolized mitral clip causing STEMI; leaves open standardization and safety in larger cohorts.
Mitral valve repair clip detachment and embolization is a rare phenomenon, with few reported cases. We describe a case of subacute transcatheter mitral valve repair clip embolization presenting as an inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, with subsequent successful percutaneous device retrieval.

Zhou et al. (2023) conducted a case report in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction secondary to embolized transcatheter mitral valve repair clip (n=1). Percutaneous retrieval via transfemoral aortic approach was evaluated on Successful device retrieval and restoration of coronary flow. Percutaneous retrieval of an embolized transcatheter mitral valve repair clip causing an acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was successfully performed via a transfemoral aortic approach.
