Background: Mitral annular calcification with valve dysfunction remains a challenging syndrome. Operative risk is high, and available transcatheter therapies are limited.
Methods: This study describes our initial experience with a novel procedure to address large mitral annuli when no surgical or trial-based transcatheter mitral valve replacement device is available.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). Cryoballoon ablation (CA) is a safe and efficient method for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation in the treatment of AF. Achieving left atrial access may be difficult in patients with atrial septal occluders (ASO) or surgical repair of ASD.

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation is a preferred treatment for degenerating mitral bioprosthetic valves in high-risk surgical patients. A balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve delivered through a postero-inferior transseptal puncture is deployed within the prosthesis over a guidewire secured in the left ventricle. Patients with aneurysmal left atrium and altered angulation between the planes of atrial septum and mitral prosthesis have unstable position of the guidewire that flips out of the left ventricle into the left atrium when the valve delivery system is advanced.
