Transcatheter Closure of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract-to-Left Atrium Fistula.

Project description:Surgical and rarely transcatheter aortic valve replacement can be complicated by intracardiac fistula. Transcatheter closure of those shunts has been previously reported with favorable results. We describe a case of percutaneous closure of left ventricular outflow tract-to-left atrium fistula after surgical aortic valve replacement using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Case report: Concomitant MitraClip implantation for severe mitral regurgitation and plug closure of endocarditis induced fistula between aortic root and left atrium after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Project description:BackgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) occurs in up to 1.5% of patients within the first year. The development of an aorto-atrial fistula (AAF) is a rare but problematic complication of IE, which can be confirmed with transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE). We present an exceptional case of occluding an aorto-left atrial fistula only diagnosed with intraprocedural TOE during a subsequent procedure of MitraClip implantation.Case summaryA 79-year-old symptomatic male patient with multiple comorbidities was referred due to severe mitral regurgitation (MR). He has had prior TAVI which was complicated with streptococcal IE for which he had received prolonged antibacterial therapy. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed severe MR. The patient was accepted for a MitraClip procedure by the heart team. Intra-procedural TOE revealed also a significant continuous shunt through an AAF which was likely caused by the endocarditis. The strategy was therefore defined as to occlude the fistula with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II 12 mm. The plug was released in the fistula leaving an insignificant residual shunt. After the transseptal puncture one MitraClip XTR was implanted, reducing the MR to mild. After the procedure, the patient's general clinical condition improved without signs of haemolysis. The pre-discharge TTE confirmed trace residual shunt, mild residual MR and mild paravalvular leakage.DiscussionOur case illustrates a complex transcatheter structural heart intervention with improvised procedural strategies based on the intra-procedural TOE findings. We conclude that the pre-procedural TOE needs to be comprehensive rather than exclusive, particularly in the context of bioprosthesis-related endocarditis.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement as a Rescue Treatment for Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis.

Project description:A 74-year-old man with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement presented with acute severe aortic insufficiency and cardiogenic shock secondary to Diphtheroides and Enterococcus endocarditis. The patient was deemed to be not a surgical candidate by the multidisciplinary team and underwent rescue transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement, resulting in complete recovery. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Direct Implant of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prosthesis for Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis.

Project description:We describe the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting with severe prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting and double valve replacement. Echocardiogram revealed high-pressure gradients through the bioprosthetic MV with a bulky vegetation. As the patient had presented operative difficulties due to severe mitral annular calcification, was in renal failure, and in the absence of any perivalvular involvement, an open-heart surgical catheter-based valve implantation was successfully performed after removal of the infected leaflets, leaving the stent frame and sewing cuff behind. Albeit controversial, this case represents an alternative approach for select high-risk reoperative mitral cases with mitral annular calcification.

Case Report: Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement in prosthetic valve endocarditis.

Project description:A 70-year-old female patient with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft presented with bioprosthetic valve failure secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis. The patient was deemed unsuitable for surgery by the heart team, following which she underwent transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement. This resulted in early death due to myocardial infarction and acute heart failure. A computed tomography revealed subclinical leaflet thrombosis. This case highlights the importance of postoperative anticoagulation therapy.

Successful surgical aortic valve replacement for prosthetic valve infective endocarditis following transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Project description:An 80-year-old male underwent a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe senile aortic stenosis. Six weeks after the surgery, he was readmitted to our institution because of a high-grade fever. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed thickening of all three leaflets of the aortic prosthesis and mobile mass on the leaflet, and Streptococcus sanguis was identified from his blood culture. Therefore, he was diagnosed with prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and received intensive intravenous antibiotic therapy. Because he did not respond to the pharmacological therapy, surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) was indicated although it was considered a relatively high-risk procedure. Herein, we report on the successful surgical AVR in this patient using a pericardial valve after removal of the infected prosthetic valve, and discuss some issues related to this rare complication after TAVI. <Learning objective: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a highly effective procedure for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk or deemed inoperable. Because it only requires limited surgical invasiveness, the risk of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) after TAVI is thought to be low. However, PVE can occur even early after TAVI. We present our recent such case and discuss some issues related to this rare complication.>.

Transcatheter Closure of Complex Left Circumflex to Coronary Sinus Fistula.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulae connecting the left circumflex to the coronary sinus are rare. Surgical closure of coronary sinus connections is technically challenging because of the location, especially in high-risk surgical patients. We used multimodality imaging to delineate the drainage site and successfully closed a left circumflex to coronary sinus fistula using a transcatheter closure technique. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
