AI Article Synopsis
- After undergoing a transcatheter mitral valve replacement, a patient had an iatrogenic atrial septal defect closed with an Amplatzer device, commonly used in such interventions.
- The closure of the atrial septal defect typically prevents future transseptal procedures, which include accessing the heart's left side.
- Despite this, the patient developed severe mitral valve stenosis and required a second procedure involving a valve-in-valve replacement, successfully performed through the previously placed occluder.
Article Abstract
Quite often the iatrogenic atrial septal defect created after percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve replacement procedures is closed with an atrial septal occluder device thus precluding further transseptal interventions if required. In this case report, we describe a patient who previously underwent a valve-in-valve transcatheter mitral valve replacement and iatrogenic atrial septal defect closure with an Amplatzer device, who developed severe prosthetic mitral valve stenosis. This patient required a second percutaneous valve-in-valve in-valve procedure with a transseptal puncture in the presence of an atrial septal occluder device.
