Transapical Mitral Valve-in-Ring Replacement Using the Innovative System under 3-Dimensional Printing Guidance
Background: Transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring replacement (TMViR) is an emerging alternative for patients with recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) after a prior failed annuloplasty ring. However, intraoperative common issues and complications remain to be addressed. Case summary: We describe the ca...

Sumario: | Background: Transcatheter mitral valve-in-ring replacement (TMViR) is an emerging alternative for patients with recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) after a prior failed annuloplasty ring. However, intraoperative common issues and complications remain to be addressed. Case summary: We describe the case of a 67-year-old male patient who underwent surgical mitral concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty repair 7 years ago who developed recurrent severe MR (New York Heart Association functional class IV). To avoid a high-risk surgical reoperation, we chose to perform a TMViR using an innovative dedicated device—the Mi-thos system—via a transapical approach. A patient-specific, 3-dimensional printed model was used to guide the procedure to avoid potential challenges. The procedure was performed successfully, and the patient exhibited symptomatic improvement. Conclusions: This case report highlights the first use of the innovative Mi-thos system in a TMViR procedure. The findings demonstrate the feasibility and safety of utilizing the Mi-thos system, guided by 3-dimensional printing technology, for patients who have experienced recurrent mitral regurgitation MR following a failed annuloplasty ring. |
