Early outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve replacement with the Tendyne system in severe mitral annular calcification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) is challenging due to the high risk of fatal atrioventricular groove disruption and significant paravalvular leak.

Aims

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with the Tendyne valve (Abbott Structural) in patients with MR and MAC.

Methods

Twenty patients (mean age 78 years; 11 women) who were treated with the Tendyne valve, either compassionate use (CU; closed) or as part of The Feasibility Study of Tendyne in MAC (NCT03539458), had reported outcomes in a median follow-up duration of 368 days.

Results

In all patients, a valve was implanted with no procedural mortality and successful hospital dis
