Previous reports have shown a mitral annuloplasty-like effect after MitraClip, i.e. a shortening of the anterior-posterior diameter of mitral valve annulus. However, the clinical benefit of this phenomenon is unclear.
An 87-year-old woman with multiple degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) jets, including a central-medial jet and a lateral jet, underwent MitraClip procedure. After a single clip implantation, anterior-posterior diameter of mitral annulus was shortened and both MR jets were significantly reduced.
Even in the case of multiple MR jets, a single clip deployment with the MitraClip system may provide an acceptable MR reduction if the clip shows the mitral annuloplasty effect.
既往报告显示,使用MitraClip后出现类似二尖瓣环成形术的效果,即二尖瓣瓣环前后径缩短。然而,这一现象的临床益处尚不清楚。
一名87岁女性,患有多种退行性二尖瓣反流(MR)束,包括中央内侧束和外侧束,接受了MitraClip手术。植入单个夹子后,二尖瓣瓣环前后径缩短,两个MR束均显著减少。
即使在存在多个MR束的情况下,如果夹子显示出二尖瓣环成形术的效果,使用MitraClip系统部署单个夹子可能会使MR得到可接受的减少。
