Reports of mitral valve replacement after MitraClip removal have increased; however, surgical re-intervention is risky due to patients’ frailty and comorbidities. We report a case of mitral valve repair after MitraClip failure using the daVinci surgical system for a 55-year-old man with many comorbidities and two previous cardiac surgeries. The daVinci surgical system allows detailed handling with high-resolution visualization and endowrist instruments that provide surgeons with clear three-dimensional images and stabilized handling. This procedure enables us to remove the MitraClip precisely while preserving the mitral valve leaflet.
