Attachment of a migrated MitraClip to the left ventricular apex: A novel case report

Abstract: Herein, we report a novel case of emergency surgical mitral valve replacement for severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) following MitraClip implantation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL, USA). Recurrent MR was caused because of the migration of the clip due to the destruction of the mitral valve leaflets with Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis. Intra‐operative transesophageal echocardiography revealed that the clip was stuck to the left ventricular apex. Although the device could not be removed sur… Show more

“…The MV orifice area ≤4.0 cm² is an important predictor of mitral stenosis after MitraClip implantation and is associated with poor outcomes [ 21 ]. Clip embolization can happen and clips have been reported being found in the right axillary artery in one case [ 22 ] and stuck to the LV apex in another [ 23 ].…”

“…In the rare case reports, one clip embolized in the right axillar artery without any symptoms and required no further treatment [ 73 ]. Another clip was localized in the renal artery and one clip, detached due to endocarditis, stuck in the apex of the left ventricle without a possibility for surgical removal [ 62 , 74 ].…”
