Imaging findings
Three metallic mitral clips are visualized, located at the mitral valve. Mitral annulus calcification is also noted. The clips are discernible on both CT and radiography.
Key takeaways
This case serves as a clear example of mitral clips, devices used to manage mitral valve incompetence. In this patient, three clips were deployed due to insufficient reduction of regurgitation with initial clips, highlighting the potential for multiple device placements and the possibility of suboptimal functional outcomes despite implantation.
