  • Title: Simultaneous transapical paraprosthetic leak occlusion and valve-in-valve implantation into a degenerated mitral bioprosthesis.
    Author: Cerillo AG, Mariani M, Glauber M, Berti S.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2014 Jan; 23(1):138-41. PubMed ID: 24779341.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation is an emerging treatment option for high-risk patients with failing mitral bioprostheses. The presence of a paravalvular leak is considered a contraindication to this procedure that would leave the patient with significant residual regurgitation. The case is described of a patient with a severely degenerated 29 mm Carpentier-Edwards mitral bioprosthesis successfully treated by simultaneous transapical transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation and paraprosthetic leak occlusion. The potential advantages of this approach are discussed.
