Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Valve Implantation

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation in patients with degenerated bio-prostheses – Experience of a Centre in Mexico

“…1 Most prostheses are implanted via a transapical approach; however, another route to access the degenerated prostheses is through the femoral vein, followed by perforation of the interatrial septum and anterograde valve implantation. 2 Herein we present the first experience with this technique performed in our facilities and for our concern the first in Latin America.…”

Se trata de una entidad extremadamente rara en la que no existe el ostium coronario izquierdo y el TCI termina ciegamente 3 .…”

An Update on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

“…53 The next largest series of 7 TA valve-in-valve implantations for failing mitral bioprosthesis using the 26-or 29-mm SAPIEN valve was reported by Wilbring et al 54 After a mean follow-up of 93 Ϯ 29 days, only one patient had died secondary to a fatal pneumonia.…”
