Structural Degeneration of a 9-Year-Old Tendyne

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: An 83-year-old woman presented 9 years after Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve replacement with acute severe decompensated heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiography reported severe transvalvular mitral regurgitation caused by degenerated Tendyne leaflets. A transfemoral transseptal valve-in-Tendyne procedure using a 26-mm SAPIEN device resulted in significant mitral regurgitation reduction and symptomatic recovery.
