Background
Concomitant structural degeneration of surgical mitral bioprostheses and paravalvular leak (PVL) is rare but potentially fatal. Data pertaining to simultaneous transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) and percutaneous PVL closure are limited, and the optimal treatment strategy remains undetermined. We report a case of simultaneous TMVI and double percutaneous PVL closure in a patient with a degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valve and associated medial and lateral PVLs.
Case summary
A 75-year-old woman who underwent combined aortic (Edwards Perimount Magna 19 mm) and mitral (Edwards Perimount Magna 25 mm) surgical valve replacement 6 years ago was referred for treatment of new-onset orthopnoea and severely reduced exercise capacity. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed severe mitral stenosis and concomitant moderate to severe mitral regurgitation, originating from two PVLs located medial and lateral from the surgical bioprosthesis. Due to high surgical risk, we performed successful transseptal mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) implantation combined with the closure of two PVLs during the same procedure.
Discussion
Although surgery should be considered as a first-line treatment in this setting, most patients have extremely high or prohibitive surgical risk inherent to repeat open heart surgery. Mitral ViV implantation appears a reasonable treatment option for patients with failed mitral bioprostheses. Furthermore, a recent study of percutaneous PVL closure showed no significant difference in long-term all-cause mortality compared with redo open-heart surgery. Simultaneous TMVI and percutaneous PVL closure appears feasible in selected high-risk patients.
