Abstract

We present the case of a female patient with mitral valve disease with severe stenosis and moderate insufficiency but with a calcified mitral annulus that compromised the anterior leaflet and mitral valve apparatus and multiple comorbidities. An inverted balloon expandable bioprosthesis was implanted in the mitral position without complications. The patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. The clinical and echocardiographic control performed one month later was satisfactory.
