Simultaneous Double Clipping Delivery Guide Strategy in Complex Mitral Regurgitation.

Abstract

The details are reported of a novel treatment strategy using two-clip delivery systems (2CDS) simultaneously, after double trans-septal puncture, for the treatment of severe functional mitral regurgitation. In five individual patients with complex mitral regurgitation, both CDSs were used successfully to titrate for an optimal result. The learning curve and limitations of this particular approach are described.
