Abstract We report a case of prosthesis dislodgement after transcatheter mitral valve replacement in an 85-year-old woman with chronic ischaemic heart failure. Two weeks after an initial successful implantation, she presented with a paravalvular leak associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Tether re-tensioning was performed and resolved the situation, but resulted in a deformation of the apical attachment zone into the left ventricle. Unfortunately, the patient finally expired from severe endocarditis. Proper anchoring is the main challenge for transcatheter mitral valve replacement techniques. Dislodgement of the prosthesis after transcatheter mitral valve replacement is an infrequent complication of the Tendyne® procedure. This case emphasizes the importance of assessing the quality of the myocardium at the implantation zone of the apical pad, and of prosthesis oversizing, especially if low-profile valves are chosen. .

Transcatheter mitral valve interventions are an evolving and growing field in which multimodality cardiac imaging is essential for diagnosis, procedural planning, and intraprocedural guidance. Currently, transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve with a balloon-expandable valve is the only form of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) approved by the FDA, but valve-in-ring and valve-in-mitral annular calcification interventions are increasingly being performed. Additionally, there are several devices under investigation for implantation in a native annulus. Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a known complication of surgical or transcatheter valve implantation, where regurgitant flow occurs between the prosthetic sewing ring and the native mitral annulus. We sought to describe the role and applications of multimodality cardiac imaging for TMVR, and PVL closure, including the use of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography Angiography and 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography for diagnosis, prosthetic valve evaluation, pre-procedural planning, and intraprocedural guidance, as well as evolving technologies such as fusion imaging and 3D printing.

Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation operators have adapted to a less invasive technique by foregoing the use of general anaesthesia and transoesophageal echocardiography. This is known as a ‘minimalist approach’. This approach has yet to be explored in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Two patients with high perioperative risk underwent TMVR using only monitored conscious sedation (CS) and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Case summary The patients were symptomatic and required treatment of severe mitral regurgitation and severe mitral stenosis in a mitral valve ring and prosthetic mitral valve, respectively. With the use of an antegrade transseptal approach, the procedure was conducted under CS using ICE only. After placement of the prosthetic mitral valve, the valve was assessed by advancing the ICE catheter through the interatrial septal defect and no significant paravalvular leak occurred. In one case, ad hoc treatment of right to left shunting was successfully pursued. Valve function was excellent immediately and at 24 h after implantation and resulted in significant haemodynamic improvement. Conclusion With more TMVR cases being conducted, the ‘minimalist approach’ with CS and ICE may be considered in selected cases.

Abstract Background Data on changes in left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) volumes after transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) are limited. Purpose This study sought to describe the anatomical and functional changes in left-sided cardiac chambers by computed tomography angiography (CTA) from baseline to 1-month after TMVR with Tendyne prosthesis. Methods We analyzed patients who underwent TMVR with Tendyne prosthesis (Abbott Structural, Menlo Park, CA) between 2015 and 2018. Changes in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), ejection fraction (LVEF), mass (LV mass), LA volume and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were assessed at baseline and at 1-month after TMVR with CTA. Specific Tendyne implant characteristics were identified and correlated with remodeling changes. Results A total of 36 patients (mean age 73±8 years, 78% men, 86% secondary MR) were studied. There were significant decreases in LVEDV (268±68 vs. 240±66ml, p<0.001), LVEF (38±10 vs. 32±11%, p<0.001), LV mass (126±37 vs. 117±32g, p<0.001), LA volume (181±74 vs. 174±70 ml, p=0.027) and GLS (−12.6±5.1 vs. −9.5±4.0%, p<0.001) from baseline to 1-month follow-up. Favorable LVEDV reverse-remodeling occurred in the majority (30 of 36 patients, or 83%). Closer proximity of the Tendyne apical pad to the true apex was predictive of favorable remodeling (pad distance: 25.0±7.7 vs. 33.5±8.8mm, p=0.02 for those with and without favorable remodeling). Conclusions TMVR with Tendyne results in favorable left-sided chamber remodeling in the majority of patients treated, as detected on CTA at 1-month after implantation. CTA identifies the favorable post-TMVR changes, which could be related to specific characteristics of the device implantation. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
