Unsuccessful Redo MitraClip Procedure Leads to Acute Right Ventricular Failure in a Patient With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and a Preexisting Atrial Septal Defect

We present the case of a failed redo MitraClip procedure that led to acute right ventricular failure in a patient with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and a preexisting secundum atrial septal defect. We highlight the sequelae of the failed redo MitraClip procedure and the anesthetic challenges associated with the emergent redo sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass procedure required to replace the mitral valve and repair the tricuspid valve and atrial septal defect.
