An 83-year-old woman presented 9 years after Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve replacement with acute severe decompensated heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiography reported severe transvalvular mitral regurgitation caused by degenerated Tendyne leaflets. A transfemoral transseptal valve-in-Tendyne procedure using a 26-mm SAPIEN device resulted in significant mitral regurgitation reduction and symptomatic recovery.

Transjugular transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in a patient with functional mitral regurgitation: a case report.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sendai Kousei Hospital, 1-20 Tsutsumidori-amamiya, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 9810914, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) using the MitraClip system is usually done via the transfemoral approach, but the transjugular approach can be a viable alternative when the former isn't possible.
  • A 57-year-old man with heart failure and severe functional mitral regurgitation could not undergo the transfemoral approach due to an occluded inferior vena cava, leading to the decision to use the transjugular technique instead.
  • The procedure was successful with no complications, significantly reducing the patient's mitral regurgitation, and he showed sustained improvement a year later.

TIPS, a Trick for Transcaval TEVAR Access.

J Endovasc Ther

November 2024

Department of Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Purpose: We described an alternative access for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) deployment using a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) needle for gaining transcaval access to the abdominal aorta.

Case Report: A 63-year-old man presented with a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer in the descending aorta. Traditional transfemoral and transaxillary access were not possible.

Background: A significant number of patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) are not suitable for either surgical or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair because of high surgical risk or inappropriate mitral valve anatomy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the HighLife Trans-Septal Mitral Valve Replacement (TSMVR) system in patients with symptomatic MR and high surgical risk.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized feasibility study evaluated the safety and performance of the HighLife TSMVR system in patients with moderate to severe or severe symptomatic MR during 1-year follow-up.
