Direct Implant of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prosthesis for Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis.


ABSTRACT: We describe the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting with severe prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting and double valve replacement. Echocardiogram revealed high-pressure gradients through the bioprosthetic MV with a bulky vegetation. As the patient had presented operative difficulties due to severe mitral annular calcification, was in renal failure, and in the absence of any perivalvular involvement, an open-heart surgical catheter-based valve implantation was successfully performed after removal of the infected leaflets, leaving the stent frame and sewing cuff behind. Albeit controversial, this case represents an alternative approach for select high-risk reoperative mitral cases with mitral annular calcification.
