title: Mitral Valve Replacement With Sapien 3 Transcatheter Valve in Severe Mitral Annular Calcification.
abstract: Transcatheter valve implantation in the mitral position with severe calcific mitral stenosis has been described in patients who are at an increased risk for conventional mitral valve surgical procedures. We report the direct deployment of the Sapien 3 valve in the mitral position with severe mitral annular calcification through a sternotomy in an arrested heart in two cases.
