Emergency Transcatheter Repair for Anterior Leaflet Tear Following Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty.

ABSTRACT: We present the case of a 66-year-old woman who developed severe mitral regurgitation from rupture of the anterior mitral valve leaflet following percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty. Emergency transcatheter mitral valve repair was used to reduce the severity of mitral regurgitation and facilitate definitive surgical treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
