Supports feasibility of antegrade ablation post-MitraClip in one case; leaves open systematic safety and efficacy assessment.
Coexistence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and mitral valve regurgitation is frequently observed in elderly patients.The antegrade-transseptal approach to treat left ventricular tachyarrhythmia is useful and widespread.However, data on the antegrade approach for mapping and ablating left ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients after mitral valve repair with the MitraClip are insufficient.We present a case of a 74-year-old patient referred to our department diagnosed with electrical storm and successfully treated with catheter ablation using the anterograde transmitral catheter route just six months after implantation of two MitraClips.

Lodziński et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Electrical storm and prior MitraClip implantation (n=1). Catheter ablation using the anterograde transmitral catheter route was evaluated on Successful treatment of electrical storm. Catheter ablation using the anterograde transmitral route successfully treated an electrical storm in a 74-year-old patient six months after implantation of two MitraClips.
