Cardiogenic shock from papillary muscle rupture requires urgent mitral regurgitation reduction. A mobile transcatheter edge-to-edge repair team successfully treated a high-risk patient, improving outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to papillary muscle rupture leading to acute mitral regurgitation (MR) has a poor prognosis.
- Urgent MR reduction is often necessary for hemodynamic stabilization.
