Abstract
Valve-in-valve implantation for degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves is becoming an increasingly accepted approach in selected high-risk patients. In the past, valve-in-valve implantations have been mainly performed in aortic position and only rarely in mitral position. We describe the case of an 81-year-old female patient with severe mitral regurgitation of a degenerated Carpentier-Edwards biological prosthesis treated by transfemoral and transseptal implantation of a SAPIEN-XT valve.
