Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that emergency surgical mitral valve replacement can be successfully performed in patients with MitraClip migration due to infective endocarditis, even if the clip cannot be surgically removed from the left ventricular apex.
Nagai et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Severe mitral valve regurgitation following MitraClip implantation (n=1). Emergency surgical mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Patient recovery. Emergency surgical mitral valve replacement enabled recovery in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation caused by MitraClip migration to the left ventricular apex due to infective endocarditis.
