Abstract Aims Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with dedicated devices promises to fill the treatment gap between open-heart surgery and edge-to-edge repair for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). We herein present a single-centre experience of a TMVR series with two transapical devices. Methods and results A total of 11 patients were treated with the Tendyne™ (N = 7) or the Tiara™ TMVR systems (N = 4) from 2016 to 2020 either as compassionate-use procedures or as commercial implants. Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected at baseline, discharge and follow-up and are presented in accordance with the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) definitions. The study cohort [age 77 years (73, 84); 27.3% male] presented with primary (N = 4), secondary (N = 5) or mixed (N = 2) MR etiology. Patients were symptomatic (all NYHA III/IV) and at high surgical risk [logEuroSCORE II 8.1% (4.0, 17.4)]. Rates of impaired RV function (72.7%), severe pulmonary hypertension (27.3%), moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (63.6%) and prior aortic valve replacement (63.6%) were high. Severe mitral annulus calcification was present in two patients. Technical success was achieved in all patients. In 90.9% (N = 10) MR was completely eliminated (i.e. no or trace MR). Procedural and 30-day mortality were 0.0%. At follow-up NYHA class was I/II in the majority of patients. Overall mortality after 3 and 6 months was 10.0% and 22.2%. Conclusions TMVR was performed successfully in these selected patients with complete elimination of MR in the majority of patients. Short-term mortality was low and most patients experienced persisting functional improvement. Graphic abstract

Objective: Assessment of early results after surgical treatment of mechanical mitral valve and aortic valve replacement in children at Hanoi Heart Hospital from 2004 to June 2019. Methods: Analysis and evaluation based on data collected from patients undergoing surgery and from the results of follow-up examination. Results: The total number of patients was 50, in which 34 cases of simple mechanical mitral valve replacement, 16 cases of simple mechanical aortic valve replacement. Average age of surgery: 7.58 ± 6.01 years (The lowest age is 7 months, the highest is 15 years). Male: 29 patients (58%), female: 21 patients (42%). Ultrasound before discharge and after 3 months, we found similar results: mean EF: mechanical  mitral valve: 56.28 ± 10.67 %; Aortic valve: 54.72 ± 9.66% .Mean pressure : Mitral valve: 3.18 ± 1.25; Aortic valve: 12.12 ± 3.25 mmHg. INR index: mitral valve : 2.58 ± 1.20; Aortic valve: 2.34 ± 0.92. Complications of valve replacement: 2 cases of mitral valve replacement after surgery 3 years and 4 years; There was 1 case of aortic valve  5 years after surgery. Death immediately after surgery:  mitral valve: 2 cases (5.88%); aortic valve: 1 case (6.25%); Late death: After 2 years, there was 1 case of death after mitral valve replacement; After 4 years, there was 1 case of death after aortic valve replacement. Conclusion: The results of heart valve replacement surgery in children are positive. It is necessary to have better equipment and experience in open heart surgery in low-birth-weight children in order to operate the disease as early and effectively as possible, in which the treatment of complications of heart failure and post-operative coagulopathy should be considered important.

The wide adoption of the MitraClip procedure in clinical practice inevitably causes increases in surgical intervention demand for patients following failed MitraClip implantation. Current reports about surgical intervention after failed MitraClip procedure focused on open-heart surgery. In this case, totally thoracoscopic third-time redo mitral valve replacement was successfully performed for a high-risk patient, following aortic valve replacement and a failed MitraClip procedure.

Objective We report a case series of robotic mitral valve replacement in patients with severe rheumatic mitral disease. Methods From March 2010 to June 2013, a total of 63 patients underwent robotic cardiac procedures. Robotic procedures were performed using the da Vinci Si surgical systems (Intuitive Surgical, Inc, Sunnyvale, CA USA). Eighteen of the patients (28.5%) underwent robotic mitral valve replacement. Rheumatic disease was the underlying pathology in all patients. The mean (SD) follow-up period was 18 (10) months. Results The mean (SD) age and EuroSCORE of the patients were 51.2 (11) years and 4.1% (4%), respectively. Seven patients (38.8%) had an additional cardiac procedure. No operative and hospital mortality were observed. The mean (SD) cross-clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were 116 (30) and 178 (54) minutes, the mean (SD) drainage was 430 (350) mL, the mean intubation time was 9.4 (7) hours, the rate of patients extubated within 6 hours or less was 94.4%, and the mean (SD) intensive care unit stay time was 30 (12) hours. Sixteen of the patients (88.8%) were discharged from the intensive care unit within the first 24 hours postoperatively. During the intensive care unit stay, one patient (5.5%) needed inotropic support. There was one early reoperation for bleeding (5.5%), one (5.5%) intensive care unit readmission, and one (5.5%) hospital readmission observed. During the midterm follow-up, there was no mortality and no need for reoperation or reintervention. Conclusions Robotic mitral valve replacement for severe rheumatic mitral disease is technically feasible. Early results are encouraging. Patient selection criteria for robotic mitral valve surgery may be expanded to include valve replacements.

Background: Retention of central venous catheters (CVC) is one complication that may occur when open-heart surgery is performed (such as mitral valve replacement). In this case report, we describe case retention of CVC in a patient with Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) related to sutured of Superior Vena Cava (SVC) wall on cannulation site. Case Presentation:  A 15-year-old boy was admitted to Sanglah Hospital with a history of Heart failure with severe regurgitation of the mitral valve, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and left ventricular dysfunction due to rheumatic heart disease. Mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valve repair and left atrial reduction was performed. After five days of postoperative observation, the CVC could be removed. However, there is resistance when removing the catheter. After diagnostic examination, it was found that the CVC was sutured to the superior vena cava wall. The patient was then scheduled for a redo sternotomy to evacuate the CVC. The patient was discharged seven days after redo sternotomy was performed without any further postoperative complications. Conclusions: Retention of CVC during open-heart surgery is one complication that increases the risk for morbidity or mortality to the patient after heart surgery.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown favorable outcomes in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis who are at high surgical risk or who are unsuitable candidates for open-heart surgery. However, concerns exist over treating patients who have undergone previous mitral valve surgery due to the potential interference between the mitral prosthetic valve or ring and the TAVI device. In this case report, we present a case in which a patient with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and previous mechanical mitral valve replacement was successfully treated with TAVI using a Portico valve, which is under-researched.   J Teh Univ Heart Ctr 2019;14(2):85-89   This paper should be cited as: Korkmaz A, Gürsoy HT, İleri M, Uçar Elalmış Ö, Güray Ü.

The pulmonary status is a vital factor for patients undergoing open heart surgery. The cardiac surgery itself deteriorates the actual pulmonary functions. Today, patients are no longer living with a cardiac disease due to compromised respiratory functions secondary to various pathologies, patients with lung disorders more often seek solutions for their cardiac disease and they are commonly operated. However, the resection of a lobe or a whole lung is a major challenge for the patients planned for cardiac surgery. In this report, we present a 65-year-old patient, who had left pnemonectomy which had been performed 8 years ago and was admitted for mitral valve replacement and subaortic membrane resection.

The review presents current data transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement, which is becoming an alternative method of managing mitral valve disease. Despite the fact that the transapical transcatheter approach is technically simpler, the transseptal method is less invasive. It has confirmed effectiveness and is predicted to be the most promising. The review describes the relevance, indications, methodology for selecting the required endoprosthesis, stages of procedure, complications, and the postoperative follow-up of patients. The results of publications on transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement are analyzed. A case report is given.
