Background: The Laceration of the Anterior Mitral leaflet to Prevent Outflow ObtructioN (LAMPOON) procedure may be performed from the leaflet tip to base to prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in patients with high-risk anatomy undergoing valve-in-valve (VIV) or valve-in-(complete)-ring (VIR) transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR).
Methods And Results: Thirteen consecutive patients (6 females, average age 67.7 years) with a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 60%, a median STS score of 3.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a new approach for treating failed bioprosthetic valves, annuloplasty repairs, and mitral annular calcification. Computed tomography is the key in procedure planning and guiding to identify patients at high risk of anatomic complications, in particular, for left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. There are several methods to reduce the risk of LVOT obstruction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate tip-to-base intentional laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet to prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LAMPOON) in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in annuloplasty rings or surgical mitral valves.
Background: LAMPOON is an effective adjunct to TMVR that prevents left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Laceration is typically performed from the base to the tip of the anterior mitral leaflet.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a therapeutic option for patients with severe mitral disease who are deemed inoperable due to their overall surgical risk. The close relationships between the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and the anterior mitral valve leaflet can lead to LVOT obstruction, a common complication with high mortality. Predicting and preventing LVOT obstruction is therefore essential, prior to TMVR.
