On-pump fibrillating heart mitral valve replacement with the SAPIEN™ XT transcatheter heart valve [PDF]
In some high-risk patients, standard mitral valve replacement can represent a challenging procedure, requiring a risky extensive decalcification of the annulus. In particular, high-risk redo patients and patients with a previously implanted transcatheter

Short-term outcomes of repair vs. replacement for rheumatic mitral valve disease
BackgroundThe main types of surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease are traditional percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), mitral valve replacement (MVR) with removal of the original valve, and valve repair with preservation of the original
