One‐stop shop: Simultaneous direct mitral annuloplasty and percutaneous mitral edge‐to‐edge repair in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation

Percutaneous edge‐to‐edge repair of severe mitral regurgitation has been established as an alternative treatment option for patients at high risk for cardiac surgery. More recently, the introduction of the Cardioband system enabled percutaneous direct annuloplasty. Here, we present a case of simultaneous percutaneous direct annuloplasty with edge‐to‐edge repair. Moreover, annuloplasty did facilitate clip implantation bei approximating the anterior and posterior mitral leaflet. In conclusion, the combination of direct annuloplasty with edge‐to‐edge repair is feasible in a single procedure.
