We present a rare case of antiphospholipid syndrome associated with non-infectious thrombotic endocarditis of the mitral valve. The patient was admitted to hospital for examination because of skin lesions manifested through a discoid skin rash. During the hospitalization antiphospholipid syndrome was diagnosed along with ultrasound verification of vegetations on the mitral valve, including both leaflets, with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. Adequate and opportunely introduced therapy led to regression of all symptoms, including endocarditis of the mitral valve on checkup ultrasound verifications, with a prevention of arterial and/or venous thrombosis in patient's future.

Abstract Background Annuloplasty failure caused by ring dehiscence can lead to trans-ring and para-ring mitral regurgitation. Transcatheter treatments are available for patients at prohibitive risk of surgery. In patients unsuitable for edge-to-edge repair, valve-in-ring transcatheter mitral valve implantation has been described to treat trans-ring or para-ring jets but not both concurrently. Case summary A 78-year-old male presented with severe mitral regurgitation due to dehiscence of a 34 mm Edwards Physio II mitral annuloplasty ring. Transesophageal echocardiography showed two jets of regurgitation; trans-ring and para- ring. Repair was successfully undertaken with a valve-in-ring procedure (29 mm S3 Edwards Lifesciences). Discussion Patients with failure of mitral valve annuloplasty with trans-ring and para-ring regurgitation can be safely and effectively treated by valve-in-ring transcatheter mitral valve implantation.

Important Complication

Mitral valve perforation is an uncommon but important complication of infective endocarditis. We report a case of a 65-year-old man who was diagnosed to have infective endocarditis of his mitral valve. Through the course of his admission he had a rapid development of hemodynamic instability and pulmonary edema secondary to acutely worsening mitral regurgitation. While the TEE demonstrated an increase in the size of his bacterial vegetation, Real Time 3D TEE was ultimately the imaging modality through which the valve perforation was identified. Through this case report we discuss the advantages that RT-3D TEE has over traditional 2D TEE in the management of valve perforation.

Abstract Transapical mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation is effective and safe to replace ruptured chordae due to degenerative disease. Redo transapical neochordae implantation has never been reported in the literature. We present a case report of a 53-year-old man who underwent a reoperative neochord implantation for recurrent severe mitral regurgitation, resulting from degenerative disease progression with a new native chordal rupture. We report the midterm durability of reoperative Neochord repair.
