Transcatheter mitral valve replacement is increasingly being used as a treatment for high-risk patients who have native mitral valve disease; however, no comprehensive studies on its effectiveness have been reported. We therefore searched the literature for reports on patients with native mitral valve disease who underwent transcatheter access treatment. We found 40 reports, published from September 2013 through April 2017, that described the cases of 66 patients (mean age, 71 ± 12 yr; 30 women; 30 patients with mitral stenosis, 34 with mitral regurgitation, and 2 mixed) who underwent transcatheter mitral valve replacement. We documented their baseline clinical characteristics, comorbidities, diagnostic imaging results, procedural details, and postprocedural results. Access was transapical in 41 patients and transseptal in 25. The 30-day survival rate was 82.5%. The technical success rate (83.3% overall) was slightly but not significantly better in patients who had mitral regurgitation than in those who had mitral stenosis. Transapical access procedures resulted in fewer valve-in-valve implantations than did transseptal access procedures (P=0.026). These current results indicate that transcatheter mitral valve replacement is feasible in treating native mitral disease. The slightly higher technical success rate in patients who had mitral regurgitation suggests that a valve with a specific anchoring system is needed when treating mitral stenosis. Our findings indicate that transapical access is more reliable than transseptal access and that securely anchoring the valve is still challenging in transseptal access.

The review presents current data transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement, which is becoming an alternative method of managing mitral valve disease. Despite the fact that the transapical transcatheter approach is technically simpler, the transseptal method is less invasive. It has confirmed effectiveness and is predicted to be the most promising. The review describes the relevance, indications, methodology for selecting the required endoprosthesis, stages of procedure, complications, and the postoperative follow-up of patients. The results of publications on transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement are analyzed. A case report is given.

Abstract Background Rheumatic mitral valvular disease is more common than degenerative mitral valve disease. Mitral valve repair is not possible in large number of patients because of rheumatic cicatrized subvalvular mitral valve disease. The prosthetic mitral valve replacement is commonly performed in our center. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate and assess the short outcome of Mitral Valve Replacement with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair. Patients and Methods This study was done in department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Faculty of Medicine at Ain Shams university, after approval of the local ethical committee from 2015 to 2016.The inclusion criteria includes All gender, All age, Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Rheumatic origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Degenerative origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and the exclusion criteria includes concomitant coronary artery bypass graft surgery or other cardiac operations or infective endocarditis and Patients with chronic liver, kidney and parenchymal pulmonary disease. Results This study included one hundred and seventy- seven (177) patients; One hundred and thirty one (131) patients did Mitral Valve Replacement without Tricuspid valve Repair, Fourty six (46) patients did Mitral valve Replacement with Tricuspid valve Repair and the outcome was Mortality (3.9%), Reoperaion (5.08%), Stroke (0. 56%), Re-Intubation (1.13%) and Re-Admission to ICU (1.69%) Conclusion The Reoperation has a direct relation and effect on the Mortality,Prolonged bypass time independently predicts postoperative morbidity and mortality and Prolonged aortic cross-clamp time significantly correlates with major post-operative morbidity and mortality.
