Abstract:
Interest has arisen in exploring the off-label application of left-sided percutaneous mechanical aspiration, where conventional management strategies may not suffice. Percutaneous mechanical aspiration has been shown to be effective as a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in select patients with infective endocarditis. This paper hereby reports the first case of a successful transeptal large bore manual aspiration device (AlphaVac; Angiodynamics) for nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis with total resolution of associated severe mitral valve regurgitation.
