Computer-Assisted Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation for Valve-in-Valve Procedures

Braz J Cardiovasc Surg. 2024 May 15;39(4):e20230237. doi: 10.21470/1678-9741-2023-0237.

Abstract

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve is an alternative to high-risk reoperation on a failing bioprosthesis. It entails specific challenges such as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We propose a patient-specific augmented imaging based on preoperative planning to assist the procedure. Valve-in-valve simulation was performed to represent the optimal level of implantation and the neo-left ventricular outflow tract. These data were combined with intraoperative images through a real-time 3D/2D registration tool. All data were collected retrospectively on one case (pre and per-procedure imaging). We present for the first time an intraoperative guidance tool in transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve procedure.
