JACC Case Rep. 2024 Sep 4;29(17):102507. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102507.

Abstract

A 78-year-old woman with severe bioprosthetic mitral valve degeneration underwent successful transcatheter mitral valve replacement with a valve-in-valve procedure. This case postprocedure was complicated by cardiogenic shock from left ventricular perforation and underscores the importance of the accurate assessment and treatment of patients following transcatheter valvular procedures.

Keywords: cardiac tamponade; left ventricular perforation; transcatheter mitral valve replacement.
