ABSTRACT
Surgical treatment of mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcifications (MACs) is challenging, with reported high morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter treatment options are feasible, however, still far from being optimal alternatives. We report our positive experience with the off-label implant of a BioIntegral Injectable BioPulmonic valve fitted on a circumferential pericardial skirt for the treatment of severe MAC.
