Abstract

The article presents the case of a 55-year-old woman who suffered from anterior myocardial infarction and chronic complications of the underlying disease, heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, severe secondary mitral regurgitation, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Due to the severity of symptoms, which persisted despite the optimal pharmacotherapy, after exclusion of reversible causes, the patient was qualified for different advanced percutaneous treatment methods. Within two years from the onset of the disease, three percutaneous procedures were performed: mitral valve correction with the MitraClip system, left atrial appendage occlusion using the Watchman system, and implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator.
