Abstract
With a rise in the aging population, mitral annular calcification is increasingly encountered with an incidence of 10% in over 70 years old. This with increasing patient comorbidities presents a technical challenge due to the risk of atrioventricular disruption which is associated with high operative mortality of up to 75%. We describe two cases of severe mitral disease with marked annular calcification successfully treated with a balloon expandable transcatheter valve which was deployed on cardiopulmonary bypass via a trans-atrial approach.Entities:
