In the two cases reported, PMVR with Impella CP assistance was feasible, safe and effective in the setting of severe mitral regurgitation associated with dilated and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Extending the concept of 'complex high-risk and indicated patients/procedures' (CHIP) from the environment of coronary intervention, a 'protected' approach could lead to improve technical feasibility and clinical outcome in structural interventions, as advocated for 'protected-percutaneous coronary intervention'.
