TCT-53 Transapical Off-pump Echo-guided Mitral Valve Repair with Neochordae Implantation: 2-Years Results

Off-pump transapical mitral valve-in-ring implantation.

OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of off-pump transapical mitral valve-in-ring implantation and to test the performance of a custom-made self-expandable stent valve, in comparison with the standard SAPIEN valve. METHODS Acute experiments were performed in five pigs. Animals (mean weight 58.4 ± 7.3 kg) underwent mitral valve annuloplasties under cardiopulmonary bypass usin...

One-stage off-pump transapical mitral valve repair and aortic valve replacement.

Off-pump transapical balloon-expandable aortic valve endoprosthesis implantation.

OBJECTIVE The aortic valve replacement is a routine procedure, and involves replacement of the native valve/prosthesis. In most of the patients who undergo such procedure the risk is acceptable, but in some cases, such risk can justify contraindication. The minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been shown to be viable, with lower mor...

Transapical mitral valve implantation: the Lutter valve

  The development of transcatheter techniques for treatment of severe mitral valve regurgitation in the beating heart is focus of recent research. An off-pump treatment technique poses great benefits, particularly for multimorbid patients, often being non-compliant to the gold standard treatment, being open heart surgery with use of a cardiopulmonary bypass. Thereto, two approaches are being fo...
