What is Left Atrial to Left Ventricular Bypass Using a Valved Conduit for Mitral Prosthesis–Patient Mismatch about?
A 72-year-old female presented with dyspnea two years following mitral valve replacement with a 25mm Epic bioprosthesis. Exercise echocardiography revealed a mean transvalvular gradient of 16 mmHg, consistent with functional mitral stenosis due to prosthesis-patient mismatch. Due to the anticipated difficulties with insertion of a larger prosthesis, we proceeded with bypass of the mitral valve using a left atrial-to-left ventricular valved conduit. The patient had resolution of symptoms, and imaging demonstrated a widely patent graft. Left atrial-to-left ventricular bypass using a valved conduit is an effective treatment for mitral prosthesis-patient mismatch in the setting of severe mitral annular calcification.
