A bstract MitraClip system has been recently introduced in clinical practice for percutaneous mitral valve repair in selected patients. In the case of early or late detachment of the device dedicated tools, either with percutaneous or surgical approach, have been developed. We describe a novel technique to atraumatically remove the MitraClip. (J Card Surg 2012;27:543‐545)
