Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair for Severe, Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal(2021)
摘要
Patients with symptomatic stage D heart failure who require left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support and suffer concomitant severe mitral regurgitation are often difficult to manage. One reason is due to cardiac anatomic constraints that limit optimization of the mechanical assist device. Typically, these patients are not candidates for repeat sternotomy with surgical mitral valve repair, and heart transplantation may not be feasible or timely. This case describes two patients with LVAD support who received transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair for severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation. We believe this procedure may be a therapeutic option in stable patients with severe mitral regurgitation who require mechanical support.
