Edge ‐to‐edge mitral repair for iatrogenic chordal rupture related to Impella 5.0

We present a case of a 47 ‐year‐old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy who required insertion of an Impella 5.0 device. During Impella support, he developed acute pulmonary edema secondary to newly diagnosed posterior mitral valve chordal rupture and subsequent severe mitral regurgitation. He underwent implantation of a du rable left ventricular assist device with concomitant edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair through the apex.
