  • Title: Late MitraClip procedure after left atrial appendage occlusion: indication and procedure description.
    Author: Cammalleri V, Scandura S, Tamburino C, Ussia GP.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2014 Feb; 83(2):291-6. PubMed ID: 23436381.
    Abstract:
    We report the first human case of percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using MitraClip System (Abbott Vascular, Abbott Park, IL) in a patient, who previously underwent left atrial appendage closure with PLAATO™ System (ev3. Inc., Plymouth, MN). The procedure was successfully performed using the standard MitraClip technique, in the catheterization laboratory, with transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance. We showed that a double percutaneous procedure for stroke prevention and mitral regurgitation treatment might be a valid approach in selected patients ineligible for chronic anticoagulation therapy and at high risk for conventional cardiac surgery.
