Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement with the Edwards Sapien 3 Valve.

ABSTRACT: We describe the case of a 57-year-old man who had severe mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation without significant annular calcification. He was not a candidate for surgical valve replacement or repair because of his substantial comorbid conditions, overall frailty, and elevated surgical risk. He underwent successful transcatheter mitral valve replacement of his native mitral valve with compassionate, off-label use of an Edwards Sapien 3 valve. A search of the literature produced no other cases like ours, which represents a further evolution of the transcatheter valve implantation concept. Further studies are needed to help define accurate valve sizing, intraprocedural positioning, and long-term device stability, as well as to determine which patients might benefit from this commercially available valve. In the meantime, our findings could present a means of treating patients who have no other options.

Project description:ImportanceBioprosthetic mitral valves are implanted with increasing frequency but inevitably degenerate, leading to heart failure. Reoperation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) using balloon-expandable transcatheter valves has emerged as an alternative for high-surgical risk patients.ObjectiveTo assess contemporary outcomes of SAPIEN 3 (Edwards Lifesciences) MViV replacement.Design, setting, and participantsIn this registry-based prospective cohort study of SAPIEN 3 MViV, patients entered in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry from June 2015 to July 2019 were analyzed. US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid linkage ensured comprehensive collection of death and stroke data.ExposuresMitral valve-in-valve for degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valves.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary efficacy end point was 1-year mortality. The primary safety end point was procedural technical success as defined by the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium criteria. Secondary end points included 30-day mortality, New York Heart Association-defined heart failure, and mitral valve performance.ResultsA total of 1529 patients (mean [SD] age, 73.3 [11.84] years; 904 women [59.1%]) underwent transseptal or transapical MViV implant at 295 hospitals between June 2015 and July 2019. The mean (SD) Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality was 11.1% (8.7%). Procedural technical success was achieved for 1480 of 1529 patients (96.8%). All-cause mortality was 5.4% at 30 days and 16.7% at 1 year. Transseptal access was associated with lower 1-year all-cause mortality than transapical access (15.8% vs 21.7%; P = .03). Transcatheter MViV led to early, sustained, and clinically meaningful improvements in heart failure (class III/IV New York Heart Association heart failure of 87.1% at baseline vs 9.7% at 1 year). The mean (SD) mitral valve gradient at 1 year was 7 (2.89) mm Hg.Conclusions and relevanceTranscatheter MViV using the SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve is associated with high technical success, low 30-day and 1-year mortality, significant improvement of heart failure symptoms, and sustained valve performance. Transseptal MViV should be considered an option for most patients with failed surgical bioprosthetic valves and favorable anatomy.
