“Atrialized” minimally invasive transcatheter mitral valve-in-MAC replacement to prevent outflow tract obstruction

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Mitral valve replacement in the setting of severe mitral annular calcification remains a high-risk intervention, often complicated by poor outcomes with both conventional surgical and transcatheter techniques. A hybrid open transcatheter mitral valve-in-MAC procedure utilizing an atrialized implantation strategy offers a promising alternative to minimize the risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Meticulous preoperative planning with cardiac CT is essential to guide procedural strategy and optimize outcomes.
