Abstract:
Objective To explore the preliminary evaluation of transesophageal echocardiography in percutaneous edge-to-edge repair of mitral regurgitation.Methods Ten consecutive patients were treated with percutaneous edge-to-edge repair of mitral regurgitation using the MitraClip system.All of them had moderate-severe (n =1) or severe (n =9) central MR and high operative risk.MitraClip implantation performed under echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance in general anaesthesia.Preoperative and postoperative immediate echocardiographic data were prospectively collected.Results All operations succeed with one MitraClip implanted to 5 patients and two MitraClips implanted to 5 patients.Postoperative immediate echocardiography observed MR reduction,6 cases to mild,2 cases to mild-to-moderate and 2 cases to moderate.No complications occurred in all patients,such as Clip off,pericardial effusion/tamponade,or mitral valve damage.Conclusions Echocardiography guarentees the success of MitraClip based transcatheter mitral valve repair operations with safety and effectiveness.
