title: Insertion of an Edwards Sapien 3 prosthesis as a mitral valve in valve implantation via a transapical approach.
abstract: We report a case of transapical mitral valve-in-valve implantation for a deteriorated bioprosthesis using the Edwards Sapien 3 prosthesis via the transapical approach. This case demonstrates the safety and feasibility of using the Edwards Sapien 3 prosthesis in treating degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valves.
