Supports feasibility in select high-risk cases; leaves open need for prospective data on durability and outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
Transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation guided by 3D TOE is a feasible alternative to surgical reoperation for high-risk patients with degenerated mitral bioprostheses.
Núñez‐Gil et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Severely degenerated mitral prosthesis (n=1). Transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation guided by 3D TOE was evaluated on Mitral regurgitation and valve opening. Transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation guided by 3D TOE successfully eliminated mitral regurgitation and achieved a valve area >2 cm2 in a patient with a degenerated bioprosthesis.
