Background: Despite the improvement of surgical techniques for mitral valve (MV) repair in children, mitral valve replacement (MVR) is sometimes still necessary. MVR and redo-MVR continue to be burdened by early postoperative mortality and long-term morbidity with only about 75% of these patients being alive or transplant-free 10 years after the initial MVR. Although transcatheter MVR (TMVR) is a well-established intervention in high surgical risk adults, only a few pediatric valve-in-valve case reports have been published. The purpose of this study was to describe our initial experience with the off-label use of the Sapien S3 valve for TMVR in a highly selected pediatric patient population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients who underwent TMVR at Boston Children’s Hospital between October 2018 and July 2020. Results: Eight consecutive high surgical risk pediatric patients (median age, 9 years; range, 8–15) underwent TMVR (7 as valve-in-valve, 1 in a native MV). Each patient previously underwent multiple MV surgeries or MVR (median 4, range 2–5) and was highly symptomatic (Ross functional class 3 or 4). The indication for TMVR was mitral stenosis in 4 patients, regurgitation in 1, and mixed disease in 3. TMVR was successful in each patient, effectively reduced the left atrium and pulmonary hypertension ( P =0.012 and 0.043 respectively), and was carried out without significant complications. Conclusions: TMVR is an attractive alternative to MVR in high surgical risk patients. In this small series, TMVR was acutely effective and safe, with very encouraging early results.

We will review transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) and discuss this evolving cutting edge procedure in terms of types (valve in valve, valve in ring and valve in mitral annular calcification MAC), clinical indications, pre-procedural planning and value of pre-procedural imaging including computed tomography role, technical challenges encountered in these procedures, potential complications for each type of TMVR, and potential strategies to mitigate and avoid such complications, We will review the currently available devices dedicated for mitral valve replacement, with a summary of their preliminary data and early outcome results. We will also discuss knowledge gaps and ideas for future research.

AbstractTranscatheter heart valve replacement technology was introduced as alternative to surgery for the growing high-risk profile population. Developed first, aortic valve replacement (TAVR) became a standard of care for patients with severe aortic stenosis at high operative risk, with a potential future use also for low-risk subjects. In the last decade, a multitude of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) devices have been developed for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation, with encouraging results coming from first-in-man and feasibility studies. As for biological surgical-type valves, transcatheter implanted valves still preserve the risk of thrombosis and embolic events and anticoagulation- or antiplatelet-based strategies are the most widely used options. Unfortunately, these last remain recommended on the basis of empirical or not widely validated evidence. Therefore, given the exponential rise of TAVR and TMVR procedures, it is important to identify the optimal antithrombotic strategies that best fit the risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events. Hereafter, this review evaluates the current guidelines, trials, and observational data discussing antithrombotic strategy after transcatheter aortic or mitral valve replacement.

Background Redo mitral valve surgery is required in up to one‐third of patients and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Valve‐in‐valve transcatheter mitral valve replacement (ViV TMVR) is less invasive and could be considered in those at prohibitive surgical risk. Studies on comparative outcomes of ViV TMVR and redo surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR) remain limited. Our study aimed to investigate the real‐world outcomes of the above procedures using the National Inpatient Sample database. Methods and Results We analyzed National Inpatient Sample data using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ( ICD‐10‐CM ) from September 2015 to December 2018. A total of 495 and 2250 patients underwent redo ViV TMVR and SMVR, respectively. The patients who underwent ViV TMVR were older (77 versus 68 years, P <0.01). Adjusted mortality was higher in the redo SMVR group compared with the ViV TMVR group (7.6% versus <2.8%, P <0.01). Perioperative complications were higher among patients undergoing redo SMVR including blood transfusions (38% versus 7.6%, P <0.01) and acute kidney injury (36.7% versus 13.9%, P <0.01). Cost of care was higher (USD$57 172 versus USD$52 579, P <0.01), length of stay was longer (10 versus 3 days, P <0.01), and discharge to home was lower (20.3% versus 64.6%, P <0.01) in the SMVR group compared with the ViV TMVR group. Conclusions ViV TMVR is associated with lower mortality, periprocedural morbidity, and resource use compared with patients undergoing redo SMVR. ViV TMVR may be a viable option for some patients with mitral prosthesis dysfunction. Studies evaluating long‐term outcomes and durability of ViV TMVR are needed. A patient‐centered approach by the heart team, local institutional expertise, and careful preprocedure planning can help decision‐making about the choice of intervention for the individual patient.
