Mitral repair using the MitraClip device is on ongoing expansion and has been evaluated in different patterns of mitral regurgitation. Nevertheless, surgical approaches to mitral regurgitation remain the standard of care, at least in absence of contraindication. We report the first Canadian experience of mitral valve repair with the MitraClip following surgical mitral annuloplasty failure. Therapeutic considerations and potential challenges are discussed.
使用MitraClip装置进行二尖瓣修复的技术正在不断发展,并已在不同类型的二尖瓣反流中得到评估。然而,二尖瓣反流的手术治疗方法仍然是治疗的标准,至少在没有禁忌证的情况下如此。我们报告了加拿大首例在二尖瓣手术环成形术失败后使用MitraClip进行二尖瓣修复的经验。文中还讨论了治疗方面的考虑因素和潜在挑战。
