Abstract
We describe a successful transcatheter, transapical mitral valve implant within a failed mitral bioprosthesis (valve-in-valve) in a symptomatic 86-year-old patient with prohibitive surgical risks, using the new Sapien 3 balloon-expandable valve. Post-deployment echocardiographic profile of the valve-in-valve was satisfactory and the patient was discharged from hospital uneventfully. This is the first reported case of the Sapien 3 valve used in the mitral valve-in-valve setting.
