Abstract
This case describes the use of the MitraClip in a patient with a ruptured chord which had occurred during a transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure. The ruptured chord resulted in anterior mitral valve prolapse in the A3 segment. This was successfully repaired using the MitraClip. This case highlights the importance of transesophageal echo, especially 3D imaging in localizing the regurgitant jet and in guiding the procedure.
