Double Valve Repair After a Failed Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair and Previous Valve-Sparing Root Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Double valve repair after failed transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and previous valve-sparing root replacement is technically challenging.

Case summary

A 61-year-old woman who had previously undergone a valve-sparing root replacement procedure subsequently developed moderate-to-severe mitral and aortic regurgitation. Given her surgical risk, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was attempted; however, a leaflet tear and recurrent mitral regurgitation occurred. Imaging confirmed adequate leaflet anatomy, and surgical double valve repair was performed, including clip removal, leaflet plasty, ring annuloplasty for the mitral valve, and cusp plication for aortic valve plasty.

Discussion

This case highlights the feasibility of double valve repair after failed trans
