Abstract

MitraClip is an effective treatment method for severe mitral regurgitation in high-risk populations in terms of reducing morbidity and frequency of hospitalizations. Efficacy and safety of MitraClip device in elderly population have been established, yet there are only 2 case reports of MitraClip implantation in the younger patients, who generally tend to have less surgical risk (Gorenflo et al.; Joffe et al., 2016). We describe a 19-year-old patient with severe mitral regurgitation with prior mitral valve annuloplasty and received MitraClip implantation due to high-surgical risk.
