Abstract

Hybrid transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has shown great promise for patients with severe mitral annular calcification. However, there have been limited reports of its use as a bailout for planned surgical MVR. Here, we present a bailout TMVR with an excellent patient outcome. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
