# The Hemodynamic Effects of Interatrial Septostomy in Iatrogenic Mitral Stenosis Following MitraClip

## TL;DR

This paper presents a case where interatrial septostomy may help manage a rare complication of the MitraClip procedure.

## Contribution

The study introduces interatrial septostomy as a potential percutaneous treatment for iatrogenic mitral stenosis.

## Key findings

- Real-time echocardiographic data supported the hemodynamic benefits of interatrial septostomy.
- The case suggests this procedure could be a viable management option for this rare condition.

## Abstract

Iatrogenic mitral stenosis is a rare complication of the MitraClip procedure for which limited therapeutic options exist. We present a unique case using real-time echocardiographic and hemodynamic data demonstrating a potential role for interatrial septostomy creation as a percutaneous management option in this challenging population.
