RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF STUDY: Transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) is a promising and minimally invasive treatment for high-risk mitral regurgitation. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of a novel self-expanding valved stent for TMVI via apical access. METHODS: We designed a novel self-expanding mitral valve stent system consisting of an atrial flange and saddle-shaped ventricular body connected by two opposing anchors and two opposing extensions. During valve deployment, each anchor was controlled by a recurrent string. TMVI was performed in 10 pigs using the valve prosthesis through apical access to verify technical feasibility. Echocardiography and ventricular angiography were used to assess hemodynamic data and valve function. Surviving pigs were killed 4 weeks later to confirm stent deployment. RESULTS: Ten animals underwent TMVI using the novel mitral valve stent. Optimal valve deployment and accurate anatomical adjustments were obtained in nine animals. Implantation failed in one case, and the animal died 1 day later due to stent mismatch. After stent implantation, the hemodynamic parameters of the other animals were stable, and valve function was normal. The mean pressure across the mitral valve and left ventricular outflow tract were 2.98 ± 0.91 mmHg and 3.42 ± 0.66 mmHg, respectively. Macroscopic evaluation confirmed the stable and secure positioning of the stents. No obvious valve displacement, embolism, or paravalvular leakage was observed 4 weeks postvalve implantation. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the novel mitral valve is technically feasible in animals. However, the long-term feasibility and durability of this valved stent must be improved and verified.

RESUMO

The spontaneous rupture of the esophageal diverticulum is a rare condition that occurs without any warning signs. Its incidence is low, but the mortality rate is high. This paper reports a case of spontaneous esophageal diverticulum rupture and analyzes it along with 13 other cases to explore its prevention and treatment measures. When patients suffer from chronic swallowing difficulties and chest pain or vomiting that cannot be explained after meals, they should be suspected to have a possible spontaneous rupture of the esophageal diverticulum, which is critical to the patient's prognosis.
