This is filed to report endocarditis, mitral stenosis, stroke, medication required, and prolonged hospitalization.It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023, a patient presented with secondary mitral regurgitation (mr), multivessel coronary artery disease (ccs class 1), heart failure (hf) with decreased ejection fraction (ef 22%), hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, and chronic kidney disease and status post anterior hemicolectomy due to colorectal cancer, with subsequent radiotherapy.The patient was disqualified for cardiac surgery due to the high surgical risk.A mitraclip procedure was performed with good results.Two clips were placed on anterior 2 and posterior 2 leaflets (a2/p2).The maximum and medium gradient values were 9/3 mmhg.Five days after the procedure, on (b)(6) 2023, the patient experienced syncope.A brain computed tomography (ct) showed three hyper-dense focal infarcts in the left occipital, right frontal and right parietal lobe.Repeated echocardiography showed balloting vegetation (22 × × 9 mm) under the left mitraclip.Infective endocarditis was diagnosed.Blood culture showed the presence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.Targeted therapy with antibiotics was started and continued for 4 weeks, allowing successful treatment of the patient.At hospital discharge, blood cultures were sterile and no vegetations were visible on echocardiography.No additional information was provided.Details can be found in the attached article titled: "complications following transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair: personal experience and review of the literature".
