Key result
Percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter valve was successfully performed in a native severely stenosed mitral valve without a surgical incision.
Why the study?
Is percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter heart valve feasible in a severely stenosed native mitral valve?

Is percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter heart valve feasible in a severely stenosed native mitral valve?
This case report demonstrates the initial feasibility of a fully percutaneous approach for transcatheter mitral valve replacement in severely calcified native mitral stenosis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May enable percutaneous access for native mitral valve replacement; leaves open safety, durability, and selection criteria pending prospective trials.
Transcatheter implantation of a balloon expandable valve in calcified severely stenosed native mitral valves has recently been described. The two cases reported so far utilized the surgical transapical approach generally used for transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement. A percutaneous approach has not been published. We report the first successful percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter valve in the native mitral valve without a surgical incision.

Guerrero et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Calcified severely stenosed native mitral valve (n=1). Percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter valve was evaluated on Successful percutaneous implantation. Percutaneous implantation of a balloon expandable transcatheter valve was successfully performed in a native severely stenosed mitral valve without a surgical incision.
