Percutaneous Treatment of Severe Acute Mitral Regurgitation Early After Myocardial Infarction and a Short Review of the Literature

Early onset acute severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a serious disorder and related with poor prognosis. While patients with FMR are extensively treated medically with close follow-up in the coronary intensive care unit during acute setting, interventional management is still controversial. In this case report, implementation of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip system (Abbott; Menlo Park, CA, USA) is presented to a young patient admitted with ACS, suffering from severe FMR after successful complete revascularization.
