Novel Leaflet Modification of the Native Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflet for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT: Valve-in-mitral annular calcification presents a great challenge with a risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). We demonstrate the first-in-human experience of performing percutaneous electrosurgery-guided perforation and balloon dilation of the anterior mitral valve leaflet followed by transcatheter valve implantation to prevent LVOTO.
