Anesthesia challenges and role of transesophageal echocardiography during MitraClip implantation in a patient with end stage heart failure.
Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy who have developed mitral valve regurgitation (MR) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and are too sick to undergo any surgical repair or replacement are being treated worldwide through catheter-based percutaneous intervention techniques to treat MR like MitraClip system®. There are very few case reports especially from India on anesthetic management during MitraClip device implantation and its specific considerations. We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient, diagnosed as post-myocarditis dilated cardiomyopathy with poor left ventricular ejection fraction (30-35%) and severe MR who underwent mitral clip implantation with fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography guidance under general anesthesia. We hope that our experience will help and guide future such undertakings in our country.
