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:BackgroundTranscatheter implantation of the Edwards Sapien 3 valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine CA) within the bioprosthetic mitral valve (MV) is an established method of treatment in adults. However, it has not been well studied in the pediatric age group.MethodsTranscatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation was attempted in 4 symptomatic pediatric patients with a dysfunctional MV bioprosthesis implanted at an earlier stage due to severe MV stenosis or regurgitation. We reviewed our experience with MV implantation in this cohort.ResultsThe mean age and weight of the patients at the time of the procedure were 11.4 years (range: 10-14 years) and 36 kg (range: 31-44 kg), respectively. The transmitral mean gradient dropped from a mean of 19.75 mm Hg (range: 15-22 mm Hg) to a mean of 1 mm Hg (range: 0-3 mm Hg) after the procedure. The mean fluoroscopy time was 55.25 minutes (range: 40-72 minutes), and the mean hospital length of stay was 4 days (range: 3-7 days). The patients' functional class improved from New York Heart Association class IV to class I during the follow-up period.ConclusionsTranscatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation can be performed safely for dysfunctional bioprosthetic MVs in the pediatric age group with favorable early and midterm outcomes. This procedure offers a viable alternative in patients who have high surgical risk or are deemed unfit for conventional surgery. However, we still recommend a long-term study of this approach in a large cohort, multicentre study.

Project description:BackgroundThe presence of aortic and mitral disease in a patient who is not a suitable candidate for surgical correction poses significant challenges in the diagnostic workup as well as management plans. Percutaneous treatment can be staged to fix the aortic valve with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a first step, followed by reassessment and percutaneous correction of mitral regurgitation (MR).Case summaryA 65-year-old female with multiple co-morbidities presented with acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. She was diagnosed with three-vessel coronary artery disease and degenerative low-flow low-gradient severe aortic stenosis, along with severe degenerative MR with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 35%. Because of the high surgical risk, she underwent multi-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was done as a staged procedure, which partially improved her symptoms. Mitral regurgitation was not suitable for percutaneous mitral valve edge-to-edge repair. After a discussion by the heart team, she underwent transcatheter mitral valve implantation, for which the Tendyne mitral valve (Tendyne™; Abbott) was used through a transapical approach. There was no paravalvular leak, and the mean gradient across the valve was 2 mmHg. She was symptomatically better at follow-up and an echocardiogram showed a normally functioning aortic valve and Tendyne mitral valves.DiscussionTransapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation using the Tendyne valve is a feasible option for patients with prior TAVI. This can be considered an alternative treatment for MR in patients who are not suitable for edge-to-edge mitral repair.

Project description:Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has emerged as a valuable option to treat patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, who are not being considered for surgery because of significant comorbidities. Concerns exist over treating patients who have previously undergone mitral valve surgery for possible interference between the percutaneous aortic valve and the mitral prosthesis or ring.At our centre, from May 2008 to December 2012, 172 patients (76 male) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis were eligible for transcatheter aortic valve implant. Nine patients, affected by severe aortic stenosis, had previously undergone mitral valve surgery (4 mono-leaflet, 3 bileaflet, 1 bioprosthesis, 1 mitral ring); they were considered high-risk surgical candidates following joint evaluation by cardiac surgeons and cardiologist and had undergone TAVI.Seven patients underwent standard femoral retrograde CoreValve(®) (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, USA) implantation, two patients underwent a direct aortic implantation through a mini-thoracotomy. All patients experienced immediate improvement of their haemodynamic status. No deformation of the nitinol tubing of the CoreValve, nor distortion or malfunction of the mechanical valve or mitral ring, occurred as assessed by echographical and fluoroscopic evaluation. No major postoperative complications occurred. In all patients , echocardiography indicated normal valve function during follow-up.Our experience confirms the feasibility of CoreValve implantation in patients with mechanical mitral valves or mitral annuloplasty ring.

Project description:Background: The vast majority of transcatheter valve-in-valve (ViV) mitral procedures have been reported with the SAPIEN family. We aimed to report the preliminary experience with the Myval balloon-expandable device in this setting. Methods: Multicenter retrospective study of high-risk surgical patients with mitral bioprosthesis degeneration undergoing transcatheter ViV implantation with Myval device. Results: A total of 11 patients from five institutions were gathered between 2019 and 2022 (age 68 ± 7.8, 63% women). The peak and mean transvalvular gradients were 27 ± 5 mmHg and 14.7 ± 2.3 mmHg, respectively, and the predicted neo-left ventricular outflow tract (neo-LVOT) area was 183.4 ± 56 mm2 (range: 171 to 221 mm2). The procedures were performed via transfemoral access in all cases (through echocardiography-guided transeptal puncture (81.8% transesophageal, 11.2% intracardiac)). Technical success was achieved in all cases, with no significant residual mitral stenosis in any of them (peak 7.2 ± 2.7 and mean gradient 3.4 ± 1.7 mmHg) and no complications during the procedure. There were no data of LVOT obstruction, migration, or paravalvular leak in any case. Mean hospital stay was 3 days, with one major vascular complication and no stroke. At 6-month follow-up, there was one case with suboptimal anticoagulation presenting an increase in the transmitral gradients (mean 15 mmHg) that normalized after optimization of the anticoagulation, but no other relevant events. Conclusions: Transseptal ViV mitral implantation with the balloon-expandable Myval device was feasible and safe avoiding redo surgery in high-risk patients with bioprosthesis degeneration.

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:Mitral regurgitation is a common mitral valve dysfunction which may lead to heart failure. Because of the rapid aging of the population, conventional surgical repair and replacement of the pathological valve are often unsuitable for about half of symptomatic patients, who are judged high-risk. Transcatheter valve implantation could represent an effective solution. However, currently available aortic valve devices are inapt for the mitral position. This paper presents the design, development and hydrodynamic assessment of a novel bi-leaflet mitral valve suitable for transcatheter implantation. The device consists of two leaflets and a sealing component made from bovine pericardium, supported by a self-expanding wireframe made from superelastic NiTi alloy. A parametric design procedure based on numerical simulations was implemented to identify design parameters providing acceptable stress levels and maximum coaptation area for the leaflets. The wireframe was designed to host the leaflets and was optimised numerically to minimise the stresses for crimping in an 8 mm sheath for percutaneous delivery. Prototypes were built and their hydrodynamic performances were tested on a cardiac pulse duplicator, in compliance with the ISO5840-3:2013 standard. The numerical results and hydrodynamic tests show the feasibility of the device to be adopted as a transcatheter valve implant for treating mitral regurgitation.

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.
