We describe the case of a 57-year-old man who had severe mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation without significant annular calcification. He was not a candidate for surgical valve replacement or repair because of his substantial comorbid conditions, overall frailty, and elevated surgical risk. He underwent successful transcatheter mitral valve replacement of his native mitral valve with compassionate, off-label use of an Edwards Sapien 3 valve. A search of the literature produced no other cases like ours, which represents a further evolution of the transcatheter valve implantation concept. Further studies are needed to help define accurate valve sizing, intraprocedural positioning, and long-term device stability, as well as to determine which patients might benefit from this commercially available valve. In the meantime, our findings could present a means of treating patients who have no other options.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is currently indicated for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are unfit for surgery or when the surgical risk is high. Thanks to the increasing experience of surgeons, better patient selection, and substantial improvements in device technology, the procedure is now being performed with excellent outcomes and a progressively lower rate of complications. As a result, the cut-off threshold to implant a transcatheter valve is gradually moving toward lower risk patients. However, this is not supported by strong evidence from rigorous large clinical trials. The PARTNER 2A and SAPIEN 3 trials were conducted to address this gap in our knowledge.

Transcatheter valve in valve (ViV) implantation actually represents a valid alternative to surgical reinterventions in patients with previous surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). In patients less than 80 years old, it is crucial to correctly position the new valve leaving a feasible and easy access to coronary ostia, both for future percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than for a future possible TAVinTAV procedure. We report a 71 year old man with prior AVR presented with structural valve deterioration (SVD) leading to severe aortic stenosis. In order to guarantee comfortable coronary access we aligned, the commissures of the new percutaneous valve with the ones of the surgical bioprothesis by reconstructing the headframes of the surgical bioprosthesis with computer tomography (CT) and fluoro-CT.
