ABSTRACT
@#Objective To determine the clinical efficacy of transapical transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve treatment for patients with deteriorated mitral bioprosthesis after aortic-mitral double valve replacement. Methods The clinical data of 9 patients who underwent transapical transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation after aortic-mitral double valve replacement due to mitral bioprosthesis deterioration from May 2020 to January 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 5 females with a mean age of 72.44±7.57 years. Results Surgeries were performed successfully in all patients with no conversion to median sternotomy. The mean procedural time was 101.33±48.49 min, the mechanical ventilation time was 23.11±26.54 h, the ICU stay was 1.89±1.05 d and the postoperative hospital stay was 6.11±2.02 d. Residual mild mitral regurgitation was only observed in 1 patient. Only 1 patient needed postoperative blood transfusion. No major complications were observed in all patients. There was no death in postoperative 90 days. Conclusion For patients with deteriorated mitral bioprosthesis after aortic-mitral double valve replacement, transapical transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation achieves good clinical results and effectively improves the hemodynamics without increasing the risk of postoperative left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The surgery is feasible and effective.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinic results of our new designed transcatheter valve in valve for the mitral biopro-thesis deterioration.Methods Mitral bioprothesis deterioration patients with high risk for the routine bypass surgery got con-sent.After general anesthesia in the hybrid operation the left ventricle apical puncture was performed with guidance of 3D echo and X-ray.The retro-preset J Valve system was guided into the left atrium and the mitral bioprothesis with the beating heart . Results There were total 9 cases between Jan 2019 to Mar 2019 which had STS score above 6-8.The mitral bioprothesis in-cluded Hancock valve 3 cases, Perimount valve 3 cases, Epic valve 2 cases, Baxiter valve 1 case.The mitral bioprosthesis size included 27 for 6 cases and 25 for 3 cases.The successful implant rate was 100％, mortality rate 0, and all the patients recov-ered well without any main complications.The mean tran-valular pressure was only(8 ±2) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). Conclusion This innovative mitral valve in valve technique with retro-preset J Valve system got very good clinic results and worthy of deep research.
