iVAC 2L to Facilitate Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair of Mitral Valve Without Leaflet Coaptation
📢 We are pleased to announce the newest publication in the JACC: Cardiovascular interventions from the desk of Prof. J. Sacha, Dr. W. Milejski, Prof. T. Pawłowski et al. The MitraClip implantation with the support of iVAC 2L, pulsatile percutaneous ventricular assist device was successfully performed by Prof. J. Sacha, Dr. W. Milejski, Prof. T. Pawłowski  in University Clinical Hospital in Opole.
👉 This case demonstrates an alternative application of a LVAD in a patient without indications for mechanical circulatory support, highlighting that left ventricular unloading with an LVAD can effectively reduce the gap between the mitral leaflets, enabling successful TEER.
