Key result
Review details procedural aspects and potential complications of TAVI after prior mitral valve surgery.
Why the study?
TAVI after mitral valve surgery raises concerns due to potential interference with the mitral prosthesis or ring during or after the procedure.
This review summarizes current knowledge, procedural aspects, and potential complications of performing TAVI in patients with prior mitral valve surgery.
Informs TAVI planning after mitral surgery; leaves open need for prospective outcome data.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an optimal alternative in selected groups of patients and evolved from procedures in non-option patients to lower-risk-profile patients. One of its main indications is previous cardiac surgery, since redo-intervention is burdened with a higher risk of complications. However, TAVI after mitral valve surgery may raise concerns due to potential interference with the mitral prosthesis or ring during or after the procedure. The present paper reviews the current knowledge, including possible complications and procedural aspects.

Olasińska‐Wiśniewska et al. (2025) conducted a review in Previous mitral valve surgery requiring TAVI. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was evaluated. This paper reviews the current knowledge, potential complications, and procedural aspects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with previous mitral valve surgery.
