Mitral bioprosthesis early dysfunction treated with transapical valvuloplasty during V-A ECMO

Abstract

We report the case of a 61-year-old male who had complications with a mitral valve (MV) bioprosthesis replacement by post-cardiotomy shock leading to VA ECMO implantation. The patient suffered early bioprosthetic valve failure owing to early thrombosis. The complication was successfully treated with a MV bioprosthesis transapical balloon valvuloplasty that restored normal leaflet mobility.
