Two-stage hybrid strategy for multivessel coronary artery disease and functional ischemic mitral regurgitation: A case series

The optimal treatment strategy of high surgical risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and functional mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial. We present two cases in which two-stage hybrid treatment with prior transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) followed by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) was successfully performed in patients with CAD and functional ischemic MR. In both cases, the patient showed good hemodynamic stability during OPCAB without an increase in MR. A two-stage hybrid strategy with prior TEER followed by OPCAB may be an ideal treatment option for high surgical risk patients with multivessel CAD and functional ischemic MR.

Learning objective

To recognize the effectiveness of a two-stage hybrid approach with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in high surgical risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and functional mitral regurgitation.
