Prosthesis Dislocation After Transapical Valve-In-Valve Mitral Valve Implantation
Copyright policy )Prosthesis Dislocation After Transapical Valve-In-Valve Mitral Valve Implantation
Transapical valve-in-valve mitral valve implantation (TA-MVI) has been described as an alternative treatment option in patients with degenerated bioprostheses in the mitral position. We report the first case of prosthesis dislocation and migration into the left atrium after TA-MVI. A new prosthesis was implanted using the same approach. The dislocated prosthesis was successfully removed through the left atrial appendage through an extended anterolateral thoracotomy without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
