[Percutaneous treatment of double valve defect with a modified extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system].
Giornale Italiano di Cardiologia 2020 November
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been developed to provide hemodynamic support in patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. In the last few years, its use has become increasingly common in interventional cardiology rooms for high-risk coronary interventions and for transcatheter therapies for valvular disease, which are increasingly complex in subsets of fragile patients at high surgical risk and with multiple comorbidities.Here, we describe the treatment of an extremely critical patient for severe dual valvulopathy, severe impairment of post-infarct systolic function, advanced heart failure with prohibitive operative risk. In a single session, the double valvular volume defect was treated percutaneously, using ECMO with an additional drainage of the left ventricle, performing a transcatheter implantation of two aortic valve prostheses with the valve-in-valve technique and the implantation of two MitraClips with excellent final result.
