Abstract

Key Points: Acute mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Treatment with the MitraClip is associated with high procedural success and acceptable mortality whether they presented in or out of cardiogenic shock, provided initial hemodynamic stabilization was first achieved before PMVR. This transcatheter technique represents a valid alternative for selected patients and prospective studies are warranted to inform patient selection and periprocedural management in this acute setting.
