(A) Excision of degenerated leaflets from a failed surgical bioprosthesis with preservation of the sewing ring. (B) Deployment of a 23-mm Edwards SAPIEN Ultra valve (Edwards Lifesciences) within the preserved ring under direct surgical vision. (C) High-pressure balloon inflation to 14 atm to deliberately fracture the surgical ring, thereby optimizing the effective orifice area and ensuring secure seating of the prosthesis.

LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle

Article Snippet: His case was discussed in a multidisciplinary heart team meeting where it was felt he was too high-risk for redo mitral valve replacement and that he would be better suited for ViV TMVR (ViV TMVR) with a 26-mm Edwards Sapien S3 ULTRA valve (Edwards Lifesciences) via the right common femoral vein with a transseptal puncture.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Example of Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve. In this case, a 23-mm transcatheter aortic valve was implanted.

Article Snippet: An 82-year-old patient underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic stenosis., Although TAVR is the preferred option for patients at high surgical risk, , it carries uncommon but serious complications, including transcatheter heart valve embolization (∼1%)., , In this case, an Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve 23 mm (Edwards Lifesciences) was inserted ( ).
