Her admission diagnosis was acute decompensated heart failure for which she was initiated on IV furosemide diuretic therapy and an urgent 2D echocardiogram was ordered for further evaluation.
2D Echocardiogram demonstrated pre­served LV systolic function (Videos 39 and
40) with degeneration of the bioprosthetic valve with restricted leaet excursion (Fig.27 with corresponding Video 41) and ow acceleration noted across the biopros­thetic mitral valve on color Doppler (Fig.28 with corresponding Video 42).
Doppler evaluation of the prosthetic mitral valve noted a peak velocity of
3.4m/s, mean gradient of 27mmHg at HR of 84bpm, PHT: 216ms, a calculated EOA of 0.70cm2 and a DVI of 4.9 (Fig.29a, b). Findings consistent with severe biopros­thetic stenosis with specic parameters essential to access mitral prosthesis listed in Table16 [18]. This was also associated with secondary ndings of pulmonary hypertension with RVSP calculated at 65 mmHg and left atrial enlargement as shown in Fig.30a, b.
Given 2D echo ndings she was also initiated on metoprolol succinate to reduce her heart rate and improve her diastolic ll­ing period.

Background andDenitions
Reoperation of failed bioprosthetic valves is associated with signicant morbidity and mortal­ity estimated at 3–23% [1921].
In majority of cases, bioprosthetic mitral valve
dysfunction occurs due to cusp calcication
resulting in leaet thickening and stiffening, which may result in valve stenosis with or without concomitant regurgitation. Valve dysfunction can also occur due to pannus overgrowth or thrombus with a 15-year reintervention rate of 40% [22].
Mitral valve in valve (MViV) can be per-
formed by transeptal or transapical approaches

under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and uoroscopic guidance.
The Edwards SAPIEN valve (Edwards Lifesciences) is the most used valve for MViV intervention. This is a low-prole, balloon­expandable, bovine pericardial transcatheter valve mounted on a chromium cobalt frame designed for transcatheter aortic valve replace­ment and is currently used on a compassionate­use basis in the mitral position [23, 24].
Recent outcome studies have shown favorable 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality rate at
5.4% and 16.7% respectively with excellent tech­nical success and sustained improvement in echo derived mitral valve gradient [24]. Clinical improvement in heart failure at 1year following intervention has also been reported but there remains a paucity of data on long term outcomes [24, 25].
Inclusion Criteria forMViV Intervention
• Failed bioprosthetic mitral valve disease with
mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation at high
or prohibitive risk for redo-operation on eval-
uation by a cardiovascular surgeon.
• Absence of contraindications to anticoagula-
tion given need for anticoagulation with war-
farin post valve implantation.
• Absence of contraindication to transesopha-
geal imaging needed to guide the procedure.
• Not at risk of LVOT obstruction.
Diagnosis andPre-procedural Evaluation
Pre-procedural evaluation of MViV intervention includes a detailed evaluation of the mechanism of prosthetic valve dysfunction with TTE and TEE. Cardiac computed tomography plays an important role for evaluation of implant valve sizing, optimal uoroscopic angles, and risk of LVOT obstruction.
The mitral valve anatomy is complex and is near the left ventricular outow tract (LVOT) which makes preprocedural evaluation crucial.
CT allows for evaluation of the spatial relation­ship between the aortic and mitral valves to allow appropriate valve and predict whether MViV will result in obstruction of the left ventricular out­ow track [26].
The presence of LVOT obstruction is associ­ated with a 34.6% mortality rate and a 19.2% rate of conversion to surgery. Historically, up to 50% of cases rejected for MViV are due to the risk of LVOT obstruction [2628].
Recent studies have evaluated the risk and pre­dictors of LVOT obstruction in transcatheter mitral valve replacement with use of pre­procedural cardiac CT to identify a threshold of neo-LVOT area to discriminate the risk for LVOT obstruction. The cutoff values of 170–189 mm2 predict LVOT obstruction with a sensitivity of
96.2–100% respectively in observational studies [27, 29]. The predicted neo-LVOT area is derived using a simulated balloon-expandable transcathe­ter heart valve in the failed bioprosthetic valve on CT cross sectional imaging at end systole [30].
Other anatomical and device related factors may predispose patients to narrowing of the neo­LVOT dimension including greater device protru­sion into the left ventricle, device aring at its left ventricular outow tract and a smaller mitral annu­lus to interventricular septum distance <17.8mm due to a more pronounced septal bulge [27, 30].
Given ndings of severe bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis on our patient, a TEE was per­formed for a more detailed evaluation of the mitral valve prosthesis and to evaluate the mech­anism of the mitral stenosis and rule out a left atrial appendage thrombus.
On the 4-CH transesophageal view (Fig.31, Video 43), there is thickening and calcication of the prosthetic valve leaets with associated restricted diastolic excursion (red arrow) and associated spontaneous echo contrast visualized in the left atrium (yellow arrow).
This restricted diastolic excursion of the leaets and calcication is also appreciated on 3D imaging (Fig.32) with no evidence of tissue overgrowth/pannus resulting in obstruction from the atrial or ventricular view as seen in Fig. 33a, b respectively with corresponding Videos 44 and 45.
On color Doppler interrogation, there is ow acceleration noted across the bioprosthetic mitral

valve (Fig. 34) with mild mitral regurgitation noted (Video 46). Spectral Doppler assessment showed a mean gradient of 18mmHg at a heart rate of 72 bpm (Fig. 35). Flow in the left ven­tricular outow tract (LVOT) was assessed from the deep gastric view and was noted to be normal. The mean gradient was 1mmHg and peak gradi­ent was 4mmHg (Fig.36).
Evaluation of the left atrial appendage showed
no evidence of thrombus (Fig.37).
Given TEE confirmation of structural
degeneration of the prosthesis resulting in
mitral stenosis, the heart valve team was consulted.
On recommendation by the heart valve team, she underwent a right and left heart catheteriza­tion. Angiography showed 40% stenosis of the mid LAD (Fig.38, yellow arrow) and 70% ostial diagonal branch stenosis (Fig. 38, red arrow) with no signicant stenosis seen in the right coro­nary circulation as seen in Fig. 39 with corre­sponding Video 48.

She was evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery for redo mitral valve operation but was considered high risk given calculated STS mortality risk score of 15.9% based on the presence of very severe mitral stenosis, acute decompensated heart failure, severe pulmonary hypertension, and his­tory of CVA with residual right sided weakness.
Given her high risk for re-do mitral valve sur­gery she was evaluated for a transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve intervention and underwent a gated cardiac CT performed for evaluating candi­dature for TMVR.
CT ndings as shown in Fig.40 depicts a Neo- LVOT area of 180mm2, septal-mitral distance of
4.9mm and an aorto-mitral angle of 58.20°. She was determined to be at high risk for LVOT obstruction given the neo-LVOT area<189mm2.

Heart Team Approach andDiscussion
Given the elevated risk for LVOT obstruction and re-do mitral valve surgery, discussions were had about how best to reduce the risk of obstruction to allow for a successful MViV procedure.
There are two current strategies to reduce the risk of LVOT obstruction prior to TMVR and this includes the Lampoon procedure which is a transcatheter based radiofrequency laceration of the anterior leaet of the mitral valve via trans­femoral retrograde approach as demonstrated allowing blood ow through the open cells of the alloy frame of the prosthesis [31].
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has been used as a preemptive strategy to reduce the risk of LVOT obstruction by increasing the neo-LVOT area prior to TMVR or as a bail out strategy in

treating LVOT obstruction that occurred follow­ing TMVR [32, 33].
The heart team determined that ASA before MViV would be the safest approach for our patient. ASA was performed with selective abla­tion of the rst septal perforator branch as shown in Fig. 41a with corresponding Video 49 with localized septal target region visualized with intracoronary contrast administration as seen in Fig. 41b with no outow tract obstruction on spectral Doppler evaluation at baseline as seen in Fig.42.
Procedure was complicated by complete heart block, and she underwent a dual chamber perma­nent pacemaker placement.
A repeat cardiac CT performed 1month fol­lowing alcohol septal ablation showed signicant increase in the neo-LVOT area measured at 255mm2 as shown in Fig.43.
