Demonstrates the feasibility of anesthetic management for percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system in a high-risk patient with a history of two renal transplants.
Chronic renal failure is strongly related to poor outcomes, in cardiovascular system, such as: cardiac dilatation, left ventricular dysfunction and mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral calcification and regurgitation play an important role in prediction of morbidity and mortality in patients on dialysis. Percutaneous mitral valve repair (MVR) with the MitraClip system, which has begun to be used in severe mitral insufficiency patients with multiple comorbid medical conditions, including renal disease, is a new, alternative method. This intervention is not associated with cardiopulmonary bypass, thus; it has been proven to be safe and effective in risky patients. In this report, we would like to share our anesthetic experience in successful mitral valve repair by MitraClip system in a patient who had undergone renal transplantation twice.

Erkılıç et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Severe mitral insufficiency in a twice renal transplanted patient (n=1). Percutaneous mitral valve repair (MVR) with the MitraClip system was evaluated on Successful mitral valve repair. Percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system was successfully performed in a high-risk patient with a history of two renal transplantations.
