Transseptal aspiration safely debulked mitral valve thrombotic or infective masses in high-risk nonsurgical patients using large-bore catheters and cerebral protection.
Does transseptal aspiration safely debulk mitral valve-adherent masses in high-risk nonsurgical patients?
Transseptal aspiration using large-bore catheters and cerebral protection offers a feasible and safe debulking option for mitral valve masses in high-risk, non-surgical patients.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Transseptal aspiration of left-sided mitral valve-adherent masses is technically feasible in high-risk nonsurgical patients using large-bore steerable catheters and a cerebral protection system. This series suggests that thrombotic or infective masses on the mitral valve can be safely debulked through transseptal aspiration.
