Abstract
A 78-year-old woman was referred to our centre for percutaneous mitral valve repair by the new MitraClip system (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California, USA). The mitral valve presented severe rheumatic degeneration, with retraction and damage of both valve leaflets (panel A) and short leaflet coaptation length, resulting in two huge eccentric regurgitation jets (panel B). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 61 mm, and the regurgitation fraction was 54%. T
