Successful Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair in a Patient With Mediastinal Shift

Mediastinal shift often induces deformation of the esophagus and the cardiac chamber. We describe the case of percutaneous mitral edge-to-edge valve repair in a patient with mediastinal shift. Esophagography enabled the advancement of the transesophageal echocardiography probe without esophageal dam...

Sumario:Mediastinal shift often induces deformation of the esophagus and the cardiac chamber. We describe the case of percutaneous mitral edge-to-edge valve repair in a patient with mediastinal shift. Esophagography enabled the advancement of the transesophageal echocardiography probe without esophageal damage, and transesophageal echocardiography successfully guided the percutaneous mitral edge-to-edge valve repair procedure. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
