ABSTRACT: Background
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with heart failure can be treated medically or by transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) if medical therapy fails. Patients who are not suitable for TEER or surgical intervention might benefit from transcatheter mitral valve implantation using the TENDYNE valve.Case summary
A 58-year-old male with a history of heart failure was admitted frequently with acute heart failure and functional MR, treated medically without significant improvement. He underwent mitral TEER therapy using MitraClip. A few months later, he was admitted with acute decompensated heart failure. Echocardiography showed severe MR with a detached clip from the posterior leaflet. He underwent redo mitral TEER using MitraClip as an option for treat
