Case supports MitraClip feasibility post-heart transplant; leaves open systematic safety and efficacy data.
Ferraro et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Significant mitral regurgitation and prior heart transplantation (n=1). Transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip was evaluated on Improvement in the severity of mitral regurgitation. Transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip was successfully performed in a 72-year-old man with prior heart transplantation, achieving significant improvement in mitral regurgitation at 3 months.
