title: Vanishing V-Wave: Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Repair for Severe Mitral Regurgitation.
abstract: Transcatheter mitral valve repair is an effective treatment option for patients with symptomatic mitral regurgitation and high surgical risk. Typically, transcatheter mitral valve repair is less effective in reducing mitral regurgitation severity compared to surgical mitral valve repair. Herein is presented a case of complete resolution of mitral regurgitation, as assessed by Doppler echocardiography and left atrial V-wave.
