Abstract
We report on a novel treatment strategy using two clip delivery systems (CDS) simultaneously, after double transseptal puncture, for treatment of severe functional mitral regurgitation. Both CDS were used to titrate for an optimal result in a patient with a severe coaptation gap of both mitral leaflets. The patient was successfully treated with two MitraClips. Thus, even a contraindication for MitraClip can be overcome with a more complex double guide intervention.
