Abstract

Two high-risk patients were successfully treated with concomitant implantation of a transapical off-pump beating heart semirigid D-shape annuloplasty device combined in 1 case with a transfemoral edge-to-edge device and in another with transapical chordal implantation. The significant anteroposterior diameter reduction offered by the annuloplasty implantation maximized the leaflet coaptation obtained by the prolapse correction performed with the leaflet devices. Combining the transcatheter annuloplasty device and leaflet/chordal repair technologies represents progress toward definitive transcatheter treatment of degenerative mitral valve disease.
