Abstract

Learning Objectives: MitraClip-related infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but fatal condition. IE caused by methicillin-resistant (MRSA), in particular, has an inferior prognosis with high mortality rates due to its destructive nature. Therefore, interventionalists should consider preventive strategies to avoid procedure-related valve injuries and adequately prepare for prophylaxis of patients who are carriers of MRSA to prevent MitraClip-related IE caused by MRSA.
