Summary
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) valve embolization into the left ventricle is a rare complication. A transapical approach using the ŌNŌ retrieval basket offers a less invasive solution for valve retrieval in high-risk patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is an emerging treatment for mitral valve disease.
- Valve embolization is a rare but serious complication of TMVR.
- Retrieval of an embolized TMVR valve requires a specific strategy to avoid further complications.

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage.
