Korean Circ J. 2021 Mar;51(3):283-285. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2020.0502.

Abstract

We experienced the case of a 61-year-old man who had recurrent infective endocarditis following transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system. Infective endocarditis after MitraClip implantation is a serious complication with high mortality. Early surgical intervention should be considered even in cases of high surgical risk.
