Key result
Transcatheter implantation of balloon-expandable valves in the mitral position via transseptal or transapical access has a reported success rate between 88-100%.
Why the study?
Does transcatheter implantation of balloon-expandable valves achieve high success rates in patients with post-surgical deterioration of mitral valve repairs or replacements?
Does transcatheter implantation of balloon-expandable valves achieve high success rates in patients with post-surgical deterioration of mitral valve repairs or replacements?
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement using balloon-expandable valves via transseptal or transapical access is a feasible option with an 88-100% success rate for high-risk patients with post-surgical mitral failures.
Post-surgical deterioration of mitral valve repairs or replacements may present a clinical dilemma due to the high-risk nature of repeat surgery. Recent advances in transcatheter techniques and surgery have enabled the implantation of balloon-expandable valves in the mitral position when surgical rings and valves are present. Valves may be implanted either via transseptal or transapical access, with a reported success rate between 88-100 %.
