(A) Two-chamber transesophageal echocardiographic view. Colour-Doppler examination shows severe mitral regurgitation from the left ventricle (LV) to the left atrium (LA). The two-dimensional image shows a free-floating chord and the major degree of prolapse of the posterior leaflet in the LA. (B) Two-chamber transoesophageal echocardiographic view. The colour-Doppler image demonstrates a significant reduction of the mitral regurgitation after the successful implantation and release of two clips (arrow). (C) The fluoroscopy right anterior oblique projection shows the two clips attached to the mitral valve leaflets. The second clip is going to be released from the delivery catheter system.
