ABSTRACT
Acute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) because of secondary left ventricular impaired regional contractility can present with severe acute heart failure, associated with a high risk for rapid decompensation, pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. Frequently, in these highly unstable patients, surgical risk can be prohibitive. Evidence for percutaneous repair of acute MR is scarce, but a few case series show that this approach could be safe and effective for bailing out hemodynamically unstable patients. We report a case of an 84-year-old man with acute ischemic severe MR post-acute myocardial infarction (MI), who remained hemodynamically unstable despite coronary revascularization, positive pressure non-invasive ventilation, vasodilator therapy and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support. In heart team discussions, he was considered a high risk surgical candidate. We decided on rescue off-label percutaneous mitral valve repair with a MitraClip device (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California), with good clinical result, allowing weaning from the supports and discharge seven days after the procedure. At one-year follow-up, the patient maintained a MV repair results and had a good functional status. In unstable patients with acute ischemic MR, percutaneous MV repair could be a rescue therapeutic option to consider, allowing hemodynamic compensation with potential persistent MR improvement up to one-year follow-up.
