Valvulopathy - Mitral Clip
Caption
A 54-year-old man with history of dilated cardiomyopathy on maximum tolerated doses of guideline directed medical therapy and implantable cardioverter defibrillator presented with progressively worsening dyspnea with minimal activity. Transthoracic ultrasonography showed evidence of severe functional mitral regurgitation for which he underwent mitral clip placement (seen here). This point of care ultrasound was obtained during a clinic follow up when he reported sustained resolution of symptoms; there was also no appreciable mitral regurgitant jet on color doppler.
