Key result
A staged approach of transcatheter aortic valve implantation and transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation was successfully performed in a high-risk patient without any valve leakages.
Population

Staged transcatheter double-valve implantation may be viable in high-risk patients; leaves open need for prospective validation before broader use.

A staged transcatheter approach for double-valve implantation (aortic and mitral) is feasible and may be a viable option for high-risk, inoperable patients.
Santarpino et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis and degenerated mitral bioprosthesis (n=1). Staged transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation was evaluated on Procedural success and absence of intraprosthetic regurgitation or paraprosthetic leakages. A staged approach of transcatheter aortic valve implantation and transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation was successfully performed in a high-risk patient without any valve leakages.
