• type A aortic dissection

Mitral regurgitation is a rare but catastrophic condition in patients after surgery for type A aortic dissection. The second thoracotomy to complete the mitral valve operation could be fatal. Here, we report a case of severe mitral regurgitation treated with MitraClip in a 53-year-old woman after surgery for type A aortic dissection combined with Marfan syndrome. She was discharged uneventfully, and a significant reduction of regurgitation of mitral valve and tricuspid valve was observed at the 6-month follow-up. MitraClip could be an alternative device for such high-risk patients.
