About

Acute MR may develop in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as a result of papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture, and these patients are grossly underrepresented in MitraClip registries. Our group has recently published the Spanish experience with MitraClip in acute MI, but only 5 patients could be collected. However, the results of our initial experience are highly encouraging since patients performed well in such life-threatening condition. In order to expand the information of the device in this condition, our aim is to start a multinational registry in Europe.
