Key result
TEER resolves severe acute FMR and pulmonary edema early post-MI in a single case.
Why the study?
Utilization of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in the acute setting of myocardial infarction with severe mitral regurgitation is still limited.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair may be an effective treatment option for severe acute mitral regurgitation early after myocardial infarction.
Hypothesis-generating in refractory post-MI acute MR; leaves open efficacy and safety pending prospective trials.
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair treatment is mainly used for patients with chronic heart failure concomitant severe mitral regurgitation. However, utilization of this system in the acute seting of myocardial infarction is still limited. In this case report authors aimed to show the effectiveness of the percutaneous treatment for severe acute mitral regurgitation early after myocardial infarction.

Aykun Hakgör (2023) conducted a case report in Severe acute functional mitral regurgitation early after myocardial infarction (n=1). Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip was evaluated on Reduction in functional mitral regurgitation and clinical improvement. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip successfully reduced severe acute functional mitral regurgitation and resolved pulmonary edema in a patient early after myocardial infarction.
