Uncontrolled daily pulmonary oedema due to severe mitral regurgitation emergently and effectively corrected by Mitraclip® implantation.

MitraClip® is usually implanted in stable patients. We report the case of a patient having a severe, refractory and daily pulmonary oedema, related to a severe restrictive mitral regurgitation secondary to a primitive dilated cardiomyopathy. A Mitraclip® was emergently implanted, with a dramatic long-term clinical success. The critical unstable status of a patient should not prevent any Mitraclip® implantation.
