Cite This Study
Borgia et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Severe rheumatic mitral valve degeneration with regurgitation (n=1). Adenosine-induced asystole and MitraClip placement was evaluated. Adenosine-induced asystole was utilized to facilitate MitraClip placement in a 78-year-old woman with severe rheumatic mitral valve degeneration.
