Why the study?
Is emergency transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation feasible in patients on ECMO?
Is emergency transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation feasible in patients on ECMO?
Emergency transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation is feasible even with ECMO support, but clinicians must be aware of the risk of valve migration and late entrapment.
Supports feasibility of emergency transseptal mitral ViV on ECMO; leaves open migration risks pending larger series.
Transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation is feasible, even in an emergency setting with ECMO. Valve migration in the left atrium may occur and lead to late entrapment in a "reverse position", with significant haemodynamic consequences.
