Abstract

Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is a relatively novel approach for treatment of symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation. Intra procedural thrombus formation is a rare but potential complication. Herein, we describe a case of large right atrial thrombus formation after transseptal puncture, that was successfully managed using aspiration thrombectomy.

Keywords: Aspiration thrombectomy; Echocardiogram; Imaging; Mitral valve; Valve repair.
