A 70-year-old female with symptomatic severe native aortic regurgitation, acquired dextrocardia, moderate-to-severe secondary mitral regurgitation and prohibitive surgical risk was admitted for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. A balloon-expendable Sapien 3 Ultra valve was implanted successfully. After 6 months, the patient remained symptomatic due to the concomitant moderate-to-severe secondary mitral regurgitation. Transcatheter mitral valve repair using a Carillon Mitral Contour System was performed resulting in a significant reduction of mitral regurgitation and uneventful follow-up. Most importantly, other transcatheter repair techniques would not have been feasible due to the impossible transoesophageal echocardiography guidance. This is the first case of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with native aortic regurgitation, acquired dextrocardia and severe aortic annulus malrotation using a balloon-expendable valve. Moreover, it is the first transcatheter mitral valve repair procedure using Carillon device performed by a cardiac surgeon.
一位 70 岁女性,有症状的严重原生主动脉瓣反流、获得性右位心、中重度继发性二尖瓣反流和手术禁忌极高危,因行经导管主动脉瓣置换术入院。成功植入了一个球囊可扩张的 Sapien 3 Ultra 瓣膜。6 个月后,由于同时存在中重度继发性二尖瓣反流,患者仍有症状。使用 Carillon Mitral Contour System 行经导管二尖瓣修复术,导致二尖瓣反流显著减少,随访无不良事件。最重要的是,由于不可能进行经食管超声心动图引导,其他经导管修复技术是不可行的。这是首例使用球囊可扩张瓣膜行经导管主动脉瓣置换术治疗原生主动脉瓣反流、获得性右位心和严重主动脉瓣环旋转不良的病例。此外,这也是首例由心脏外科医生使用 Carillon 装置进行的经导管二尖瓣修复术。
