This video tutorial is a guide to transfemoral, transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation using advanced preoperative planning and intraprocedural fusion imaging. We demonstrate mitral valve-in-valve implantation in a patient after surgical bioprosthetic replacement of the mitral valve, with severe restenosis and elevated surgical risk, and we discuss preoperative planning and work-up using advanced imaging software.. The procedure itself is documented in a step-by-step fashion for every important phase of the intervention. Finally, we present the postoperative result after successful implantation and provide a brief discussion of the key points of the case and procedure.
