Case Summary: A patient who underwent mechanical aortic and mitral valve replacement developed three paravalvular leaks 10 months later. We located the tracks by puncturing the apex cordis under transoesophageal echocardiography guidance alone and puncturing the femoral artery guided by fluoroscopy. Three paravalvular leaks were occluded with a hybridization method simultaneously.

Background: Failed mitral bioprosthesis has conventionally been treated with redo surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR). Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation (TM-VIVI) is emerging as an alternative to SMVR in high-risk patients. We report our experience with transapical TM-VIVI using the J-Valve system.

Severe mitral annular calcification poses a significant challenge, particularly in higher risk, frail, elderly patients with multivalvular disease. Both surgical and transcatheter options exist but remain fraught with risks of paravalvular leak, atrioventricular groove disruption, patient prosthesis mismatch, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We present an innovative hybrid surgical approach to manage severe aortic and mitral valve disease in a Jehovah's Witness patient with severe circumferential mitral annular calcification.
