Key result
Live 3D TEE successfully guides combined transfemoral mitral valve-in-valve implantation and paravalvular leak closure.
Why the study?
This report demonstrates the usefulness of two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography during combined transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve deployment and paraprosthetic leak closure.

Demonstrates real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography guidance for combined transfemoral mitral valve-in-valve deployment and leak closure, highlighting its additive value over 2D imaging.
We demonstrate the usefulness of two- and live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in a procedure, which combined transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve deployment and paraprosthetic leak closure in the same setting using the less invasive transfemoral approach in an adult patient with bioprosthetic mitral valve degeneration. We also highlight the additive value of three-dimensional echocardiography over the two-dimensional technique.

Ahmed et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Bioprosthetic mitral valve degeneration with paraprosthetic leak (n=1). Two- and live/real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography guidance vs. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography alone was evaluated. Two- and live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography successfully guided combined transfemoral mitral valve-in-valve deployment and paraprosthetic leak closure in 1 adult patient.
