Abstract

Degenerated and dysfunctional prosthetic valves are usually replaced surgically. However, repeated cardiac surgery can cause prohibitive risk, especially in patients with many associated co-morbidities. Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation (TVIV) is a novel, technically very challenging, but less invasive alternative treatment for patients with unacceptably high surgical risk of degenerated prosthetic valves. The method is attractive because it takes advantage of the presence of the degenerated prosthesis, which serves as an anchoring zone. Here, the case is presented of TVIV in an 82-year-old female with significant stenosis of a biological mitral prosthesis. In 2011, Himbert et al. were the first to successfully insert a transcatheter heart valve in the mitral ring using a transfemoral approach. To date, only a small case series has been reported on the effectiveness of TVIV using a transfemoral venous access and a trans-septal anterograde approach. The present patient was the first in which TVIV was performed in Poland and Eastern Europe.
