Project description:Mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with mitral annular calcification (MAC) is surgically challenging, and valve-in-MAC procedures using transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) devices have poor outcomes. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may be an option. Concomitant TAVR and TMVR are limited to 2 reports. We describe the first case of concomitant TAVR and TMVR-in-MAC procedures. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) for native mitral valve pathology with severe mitral annular calcification has emerged as an alternative treatment option to conventional mitral valve surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate patients who were referred for TMVI with severe mitral annular calcification and their procedural outcomes.MethodsRetrospective analysis of patients from 2017 to 2020 referred for TMVI was carried out. Demographic characteristic details; surgical strategy; perioperative complications; and hospital stay, including 30-day and 1-year mortality, were analyzed.ResultsEleven patients were referred for consideration of TMVI. The 8 patients who underwent TMVI had a median age of 74 years (range, 57-80 years), the median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was 4.6 (range, 2.4-10.9), and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score was 5.2% (2%-10.1%). The median cardiopulmonary bypass time and crossclamp times were 170 minutes (range, 150-248 minutes) and 152 minutes (range, 118-214 minutes), respectively. The median hospital stay was 29 days (range, 2-40 days). Thirty-day in hospital mortality was 12%, whereas 1-year mortality was 25%. There was symptomatic improvement with downgrade of New York Heart Association functional class from III or IV to I or II. The 3 patients who were turned down had a median age of 73 years, median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was 13.4, and median European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score was 5.72%. They were alive at 12 months follow-up from the date of surgical assessment; however, all with New York Heart Association functional class III or IV symptoms.ConclusionsWe describe a series demonstrating the technical consideration and capability of transatrial TMVI to treat mitral annular calcification and native mitral valve disease. Our results are favorable when compared with TMVI global registry data for transseptal or transapical approach.

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter methods have been rapidly evolving to provide an alternative less invasive therapeutic option, mainly because redo patients often present with multiple comorbidities and high operative risk. We sought to evaluate and compare our experience with transapical transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TA-TMVR) to conventional redo mitral valve replacement in patients presenting with degenerated biological mitral valve prostheses or failed valve annuloplasty.Methods and materialBetween March 2012 and November 2020, 74 consecutive high-risk patients underwent surgical redo mitral valve replacement (n = 33) or TA-TMVR (n = 41) at our institution. All patients presented with a history of a surgical mitral valve procedure. All transcatheter procedures were performed using the SAPIEN XT/3™ prostheses. Data collection was prospectively according to MVARC criteria.ResultsThe mean logistic EuroSCORE-II of the whole cohort was 19.9±16.7%, and the median STS-score was 11.1±12.5%. The mean age in the SMVR group was 63.7±12.8 years and in the TMVR group 73.6±9.7 years. Patients undergoing TA-TMVR presented with significantly higher risk scores. Echocardiography at follow up showed no obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, no paravalvular leakage and excellent transvalvular gradients in both groups (3.9±1.2 mmHg and 4.2±0.8 mmHg in the surgical and transcatheter arm respectively). There was no difference in postoperative major adverse events between the groups with no strokes in the whole cohort. Both methods showed similar survival rates at one year and a 30-day mortality of 15.2% and 9.8% in SAVR and TMVR group, respectively. Despite using contrast dye in the transcatheter group, the rate of postoperative acute kidney failure was similar between the groups.ConclusionDespite several contraindications for surgery, we showed the non-inferiority of TA-TMVR compared to conventional surgical redo procedures in high-risk patients. With its excellent hemodynamic and similar survival rate, TA-TMVR offers a feasible alternative to the conventional surgical redo procedure in selected patients.

Project description:Mitral annular calcification with mitral valve disease is a challenging problem that could necessitate surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR). Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is emerging as a feasible alternative in high-risk patients with appropriate anatomy. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to December 25, 2019 for studies discussing SMVR or TMVR in patients with mitral annular calcification; 27 of 1539 articles were selected for final review. TMVR was used in 15 studies. Relevant data were available on 82 patients who underwent hybrid transatrial TMVR, and 354 patients who underwent transapical or transseptal TMVR. Outcomes on SMVR were generally reported as small case series (447 patients from 11 studies); however, 1 large study recently reported outcomes in 9551 patients. Patients who underwent TMVR had a shorter median follow-up of 9 to 12 months (range, in-hospital‒19 months) compared with patients with SMVR (54 months; range, in-hospital‒120 months). Overall, those undergoing TMVR were older and had higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk scores. SMVR showed a wide range of early (0%-27%; median 6.3%) and long-term mortality (0%-65%; median at 1 year, 15.8%; 5 years, 38.8%, 10 years, 62.4%). The median in-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates were 16.7%, 22.7%, and 43%, respectively, for transseptal/transapical TMVR, and 9.5%, 20.0%, and 40%, respectively, for transatrial TMVR. Mitral annular calcification is a complex disease and TMVR, with a versatile option of transatrial approach in patients with challenging anatomy, offers a promising alternative to SMVR in high-risk patients. However, further studies are needed to improve technology, patient selection, operative expertise, and long-term outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundFailed mitral bioprosthesis has conventionally been treated with redo surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR). Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation (TM-VIVI) is emerging as an alternative to SMVR in high-risk patients. We report our experience with transapical TM-VIVI using the J-Valve system.MethodsFrom May 2020 to January 2021, 21 patients with a failed mitral bioprosthesis underwent transapical TM-VIVI without concomitant procedures at Guangdong Provincial People's hospital. The mean age was 74.62 years. All patients were heavily symptomatic with severe mitral regurgitation and increased trans-prosthetic gradient. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality (STS PROM) and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroScore II) scores were used and predicted high mortality (STS PROM, 12.91%±9.94%; EuroScore II, 12.04%±10.5%). All the procedures were performed in a hybrid room.ResultsThe success rate was 100% with no conversion to median sternotomy and no intraprocedural death. The mean ventilation time and intensive care unit (ICU) stay were 25±21.44 minutes and 4.14±7.08 days, respectively. No major postoperative complications were observed, except 1 patient suffered pneumonia and required tracheostomy. All patients recovered well. Postoperative echocardiography revealed excellent hemodynamics with no residual mitral regurgitation in 19 patients and mild regurgitation in 2 patients. In a subgroup analysis, no significant differences among procedural and postoperative outcomes were detected in patients with previous aortic-mitral double valve replacement (DVR) compared to other patients.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate the safety and feasibility of transapical TM-VIVI using the J-Valve system, even in patients following DVR.

Project description:Transcatheter valve implantation continues to grow worldwide and has been used principally for the nonsurgical management of native aortic valvular disease-as a potentially less invasive method of valve replacement in high-risk and inoperable patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Given the burden of valvular heart disease in the general population and the increasing numbers of patients who have had previous valve operations, we are now seeing a growing number of high-risk patients presenting with prosthetic valve stenosis, who are not potential surgical candidates. For this high-risk subset transcatheter valve delivery may be the only option. Here, we present an inoperable patient with severe, prosthetic valve aortic and mitral stenosis who was successfully treated with a trans catheter based approach, with a valve-in-valve implantation procedure of both aortic and mitral valves.
