TI  - Percutaneous mitral valve repair with MitraClip for severe functional mitral 
      regurgitation.
PG  - e9-e12
AB  - A 67-year-old Chinese woman with comorbidities of chronic obstructive lung 
      disease, hypertension and prior coronary artery bypass surgery presented with 
      severe functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and severely depressed left 
      ventricular function. She was in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III. 
      Due to high surgical risk, she was referred for percutaneous treatment with the 
      MitraClip valve repair system. This procedure is typically performed via the 
      femoral venous system and involves a transseptal puncture. A clip is delivered to 
      grasp the regurgitant mitral valve leaflets and reduce MR. This was performed 
      uneventfully in our patient, with reduction of MR from 4+ to 1+. She was 
      discharged on post-procedure Day 2 and her NYHA class improved to Class I. This 
      was the first successful MitraClip procedure performed in Asia and represents a 
      valuable treatment option in patients with severe MR, especially those with 
      functional MR or those at high surgical risk.
