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.

Abstract Aims Left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a feared complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) procedures. Multimodal imaging evaluation is the key to identify at-risk patient and select the best management. Methods and results An 83-year-old woman with a history of mitral valve replacement with a 27-mm Carpentier-Edwards bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) for rheumatic heart disease was admitted to our department complaining worsening effort dyspnoea. Clinical evaluation revealed a grade 3/6 holosystolic murmur. She underwent combined transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) which demonstrated mitral bioprosthesis degeneration leading to severe stenosis (mean gradient = 13 mmHg, PHT-derived area = 0.9 cm2) and moderate regurgitation, with preserved biventricular function, and severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery systolic pression = 65 mmHg). The patient presented a high estimated risk for redo-surgery (Society of Thoracic Surgeons score estimated mortality: 6%) due to her complex medical history, including advanced chronic kidney disease and permanent atrial fibrillation; therefore, she underwent evaluation for valve-in-valve TMVR. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) revealed bioprosthetic anterior leaflet in tight contact with the septum in systole; predicted neo-LVOT using virtual 26-mm Sapien S3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) valve was 150 mm2, conferring a high risk of fixed LVOTO. A 26-mm Sapien S3 valve was selected based on CT derived surgical valve ID of 24 mm. After Heart Team discussion, we performed a modified LAMPOON technique to achieve tip-to-base laceration of the bioprosthetic leaflet beside the LVOT, in order to prevent LVOT obstruction. Briefly, after transseptal puncture through right femoral vein access (16 Fr), we crossed the mitral prosthesis using a balloon wedge end-hole catheter, through which we advanced a 300 cm 0.014-inch wire into the ascending aorta, where it was snared from left arterial femoral access (8 Fr) and covered by a micro-catheter. The wire was previously kinked mid-shaft to form a ‘flying-V’ that was focally denuded and positioned at the target bioprosthetic leaflet’s tip using TEE and fluoroscopy. The guidewire was pulled toward the valve ring and electrified at 70 W with continuous 5% dextrose flush until adequate tip-to-base leaflet laceration. Thereafter, we successfully implant a 26-mm Sapien S3 valve. Maximal LVOT gradient post implant was 5 mmHg. The patient was discharged on post-operative day two and she recovered well, reporting functional and symptomatic improvement at 6-month follow-up. Conclusions our case highlights the importance of multimodality imaging and careful procedural planning to succeed even in complex valve-in-valve TMVR procedures. Transcatheter electrosurgery is an emerging tool for percutaneous structural heart interventions.

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.

Prevalent Form

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent form of moderate or severe valve disease in the developed world. MR can result from impairment of any part of the mitral valve apparatus and is classified as primary (disease of the leaflets) or secondary (functional). The presence of at least moderate MR is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. With the goal of avoiding the risks of traditional surgery, transcatheter mitral valve therapies have been developed. The current transcatheter repair techniques are limited by therapeutic target and incomplete MR reduction, and thus transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has been pursued. Several devices (both transapical and transseptal) are under development, with both early feasibility and pivotal trials under way. As this field develops, the decision to treat with TMVR will require a heart team approach that takes patient-, disease-, and device-specific factors into account.
