In the TEER procedure, the patient was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, severe mitral regurgitation (MR4+, Carpentier type II) and enlarged left atrium. Considering the preoperative echo assessment result, the team decided to implant the DragonFly™ MitraClip in the A2/P2 position (puncture site height: 4.0cm).

During the procedure, under transesophageal ultrasound guidance, the clip was delivered to the left atrium, and after its adjusting the position, direction and path, it entered the left ventricle to capture the valve leaflets, and then the team released the clip after evaluating its position and effect. After release, there was no residual prolapse of the mitral valve, only trace regurgitation observed. The result was ideal, and the procedure was a complete success.
