The Art of SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in Valve-in-Ring and Valve-in-Mitral-Annular-Calcification Procedures

VC Babaliaros, RJ Lederman, PT Gleason et al.

ABSTRACT
The SAPIEN 3 is the only transcatheter heart valve commercially available for compassionate transcatheter mitral valve replacement in patients with previous mitral surgical rings and mitral annular calcification (valve in ring [VIR] and valve in mitral annular calcification [VIM]). Reported outcomes have been inconsistent or poor. The review provides an overview of the authors’ approach to achieve largely consistent results despite the intrinsic limitations of SAPIEN 3 VIM and VIR. The approach includes bedside modifications of the valve implant, the delivery system, and of the cardiac substrate itself. Until purpose-built devices are readily available, VIR and VIM procedures will require aggressive multidisciplinary cooperation, meticulous planning and execution, and postprocedure management by experienced, high-volume operators.
