    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    THE ARTICLE, "TRANSCATHETER MITRAL VALVE-IN-VALVE EXPLANT: LESSONS LEARNED", WAS REVIEWED. THE ARTICLE PRESENTED A CASE STUDY OF A 71-YEAR-OLD MALE PATIENT WITH PULMONARY EDEMA AND DECOMPENSATION HEART FAILURE. IT WAS REPORTED THAT ON AN UNKNOWN DATE, A 33MM EPIC VALVE WAS IMPLANTED. IT WAS THEN REPORTED 11 YEARS POST-PROCEDURE ON AN UNKNOWN DATE, THE PATIENT PRESENTED WITH ACUTE SEVERE MITRAL REGURGITATION AND PULMONARY EDEMA. A DECISION WAS MADE TO PERFORM A TRANSCATHETER VALVE-IN-VALVE PROCEDURE WITH A 29MM SAPIEN VALVE. IT WAS THEN REPORTED TWO AND A HALF YEARS POST-INTERVENTION, THE PATIENT DEVELOPED RECURRENT BACTERIAL ENDOCARDITIS. A DECISION WAS MADE TO SURGICALLY REMOVE BOTH 33MM EPIC VALVE WITH THE EMBEDDED 29MM SAPIEN VALVE. A 33MM EPIC PLUS VALVE WAS THEN IMPLANTED WITH NO ADVERSE PATIENT CONSEQUENCES. THE ARTICLE CONCLUDED THAT MITRAL VALVE-IN-VALVE EXPLANT IS TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE. THE AUTHORS RECOMMENDED EN BLOC REMOVAL OF BOTH VALVES AS THE SAFEST METHOD OF VALVE EXPLANT.
