Prosthesis Dislocation After Transapical Valve-In-Valve Mitral Valve Implantation

Published:March 19, 2016DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cjca.2016.03.006

      Abstract

      Transapical valve-in-valve mitral valve implantation (TA-MVI) has been described as an alternative treatment option in patients with degenerated bioprostheses in the mitral position. We report the first case of prosthesis dislocation and migration into the left atrium after TA-MVI. A new prosthesis was implanted using the same approach. The dislocated prosthesis was successfully removed through the left atrial appendage through an extended anterolateral thoracotomy without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

      Résumé

      L’implantation valvulaire mitrale de type valve-in-valve par voie transapicale (IVM-TA) a été décrite comme une solution de rechange au traitement des patients porteurs d’une bioprothèse dégénérée en position mitrale. Nous rapportons le premier cas de déplacement et de migration de prothèse dans l’oreillette gauche après l’IVM-TA. Une nouvelle prothèse a été implantée selon la même approche. La prothèse mal positionnée a été retirée avec succès par l’appendice auriculaire gauche par thoracotomie antérolatérale étendue sans l’utilisation de pontage cardiopulmonaire.
