Transjugular mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the PASCAL system®: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is an effective alternative therapeutic option for symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) in selected patients at high or prohibitive surgical risk. While this procedure is almost exclusively performed via the femoral veins, this approach is not feasible in some patients. The transjugular access may be used as an alternative route.

Case summary

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman presenting with heart failure due to severe primary MR related to P2 flail leaflet, for which conventional surgery was deemed too high risk due to her altered general condition. Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with PASCAL device® was planned. However, the transfemoral approach failed due to severe kyphoscoliosis and inferior
