Background: Mitra Clip therapy is a minimally invasive, safe, and clinically validated treatment for patients with mitral valve issues. Traditionally, anatomical exclusion criteria for the MitraClip procedure have ruled out cases involving rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affecting the mitral valve, primarily due to its association with mitral stenosis (MS). Case Summary: We present a case involving a 42-year-old male with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis, who experienced recurrent heart failure due to severe rheumatic mitral regurgitation (MR). He received effective treatment with the Mitra Clip system. Discussion: This case illustrates the potential for treating rheumatic heart disease-related MR with the MitraClip in carefully selected patients. Research has highlighted the benefits of the Mitra Clip for individuals at extreme or high risk for mitral valve surgery, regardless of whether their condition is degenerative or functional. The role of nursing considerations and perioperative care is equally crucial in ensuring the successful outcome of the procedure.
Keywords: Mitra Clip, Mitral regurgitation, Rheumatic heart disease, Case study, nursing care of mitra clip patients.
