Mitraclip Followed by Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: Hybrid Techniques for Regurgitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Disease

Abstract

With the advent of percutaneous valve interventions, the landscape for management of high-risk valve replacement and repair has changed dramatically. Transcatheter valve repair/replacement techniques can be used in conjunction with open surgery to facilitate a hybrid approach in patients with multivalve disease. We present a case of staged hybrid valve repair followed by surgical replacement for a high-risk patient with mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation. This case illustrates the effectiveness of the staged hybrid approach for high-risk patients with incomplete transcatheter options. We expect these techniques to play an increasingly larger role in the treatment algorithm for high-risk multivalve disease.
