RESUMEN
A substituição transcateter valve-in-valve da valva mitral surgiu recentemente como uma alternativa cada vez mais utilizada nos pacientes de alto risco cirúrgico. O presente caso relata uma substituição de valva mitral transcateter valve-in-valve, por via transeptal, como tratamento da degeneração de uma bioprótese mitral cirúrgica e regurgitação grave, em paciente de 86 anos já submetido a uma substituição transcateter valve-in-valve aórtica, há 6 anos. Este caso enfatiza o papel crucial de uma avaliação pré-operatória cuidadosa, com uso de diferentes modalidades de exames de imagem, para planejamento do procedimento, em paciente com maior risco de obstrução da via de saída do ventrículo esquerdo, devido a um procedimento valve-in-valve aórtico prévio.
Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement has recently emerged as an increasingly common alternative for high surgical risk patients. We report a case of a successful transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement for the treatment of a bioprosthetic mitral valve degeneration and severe regurgitation, in an 86-year-old patient who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve procedure 6 years ago. This case emphasizes the crucial role of a careful preoperative assessment using multimodality imaging to plan the procedure, in a patient with higher risk of left ventricular outflow obstruction due to the previous transcatheter aortic valve-in- valve procedure.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become an increasingly safe procedure. However, same day discharge (SDD) has yet to become standard practice. Our aim is to characterize the patients who underwent elective PCI and compare outcomes between the overnight stay (ONS) patient group and the group that was discharged on the same day at 24 hours and at 30 days. METHODS: One-year registry of patients who underwent an elective PCI. The possibility of SDD was established by the operator. Appropriate candidates were discharged at least four hours after the end of the intervention. The primary endpoints were defined as: Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) - death, myocardial infarction (MI) stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), non-planned re-intervention - and vascular complications. Secondary endpoints were any unplanned hospital visit, readmission and re-catheterization. RESULTS: We performed 155 elective PCIs. One patient was admitted to the coronary care unit; 111 patients stayed overnight (ONS Group); 43 patients were discharged the same day (SDD Group). Three patients had early (<4 hours) post procedure complications: two TIAs and one vascular access site complication. There were no MACCE between four and 24 hours, nor at 30 days. At 24 hours, two patients from the SDD group had unplanned visits. Between one and 30 days, more patients from the SDD group had unplanned visits (9.3% vs. 0.9%. p=0.02). One patient from the ONS group had a recatherization. There were no readmissions or reinterventions. CONCLUSION: Same day discharge of selected patients who undergo elective PCIs is feasible and safe.
