Quick Takes
- Transseptal MViV in selected patients at high surgical risk was associated with a 100% technical success rate, a low complication rate, and a low mortality rate (3.3%) at 1 year.
- Based on these preliminary data, transseptal MViV may be considered for selected high-risk patients with degenerated mitral bioprosthesis who have favorable anatomy.
- Additional prospective randomized controlled studies are needed to validate these results and to assess the durability of THV performance.
