Treatment options for patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) and mitral annular calcification (MAC) are limited. The limitations of current transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) technologies include high screen failure rates, increased risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and high residual regurgitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of TMVR with the AltaValve system (4C Medical, Maple Grove, MN), a supra-annular TMVR with atrial fixation, in patients with severe MR and moderate or severe MAC.
