Key result
A 69-year-old man developed severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after transcatheter mitral valve replacement, necessitating a redo sternotomy with mechanical mitral valve replacement.
Why the study?
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a serious, potentially fatal complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement that can be predicted with preprocedural imaging.
Case Report (n=1)
Preprocedural planning with multi-detector cardiac CT to measure neo-LVOT area is crucial to predict and prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, a potentially fatal complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement.

LVOTO may complicate TMVR requiring reoperation; leaves open optimal risk stratification and prevention.
