Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in a Patient With Previous Mechanical Aortic Valve Replacement

Abstract

A 79-year-old female with mixed rheumatic mitral valve (MV) disease, characterised by severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and moderate mitral stenosis, and a previous mechanical aortic valve replacement was referred for transcatheter MV replacement (TMVR) following an aborted redo-sternotomy due to porcelain aorta. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk calculation was 4.28% and EuroSCORE II was 12.75% for MV repair.
