SAM and Severe Mitral Regurgitation Post–Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery Treated With MitraClip

Abstract

Post-operative systolic anterior motion associated with mitral regurgitation can be a challenging combination. We present the case of a 64-year-old male patient managed by MitraClip (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois) implantation for systolic anterior motion and severe mitral regurgitation in the early post-operative period after aortic dissection surgery. This is the first description of MitraClip use post–aortic dissection. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
