Melody Valve Fracture Causing Mitral Stenosis: Novel Solution for Transapical Valve-in-Valve
Abstract
The use of Melody valves in the mitral position has been introduced in clinical practice. Stent fracture is a recognized complication of Melody valve implantation in the pulmonary position; however, reports in the mitral position are rare. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy in whom complete fracture of the proximal stent struts occurred, causing acute severe mitral stenosis, and in whom urgent hybrid transapical Melody valve implantation...
