Many patients with severe mitral regurgitation cannot undergo conventional mitral valve surgery due to prohibitive surgical risk and are candidates for transcatheter repair with an edge‐to‐edge technique. Prior reports suggest efficacy with this approach for mitral regurgitation due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow obstruction. We present a case report of transcatheter mitral valve repair for posterior leaflet prolapse with concomitant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve in the absence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
