ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Atrial fibrillation is present in 30-50% of patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valve repair. The presence of a formal contraindication to oral anticoagulation is also very common in these patients. In this context, percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may be a valid alternative for these patients. The study aim was to assess the feasibility, safety, and technical considerations of the combination of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system and LAAO. The present study describes the multicenter experience of combined MitraClip and LAAO procedures.METHODS:
Between April 2012 and April 2016, six patients were successfully treated with the combined procedure.RESULTS:
In all patients, mitral valve repair was performed before LAAO. Both procedures were successfully performed in all cases without any relevant procedural complication or mortality.CONCLUSIONS:
According to the results of the present study, a combination of both techniques appears to be feasible and safe, with favorable in-hospital outcomes.
