Bridge to Sapien: Mechanical Circulatory Support as a Bridge to Transcatheter Mitral Intervention.
2021
Veno-arterial membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can be used as a rescue therapy for patients in refractory cardiogenic shock. While there is experience as a bridge-to-transplant and bridge-to-ventricular assist device in the heart failure population, there are not reports of its use as a bridge to definitive valvular intervention. Here we present a case of VA-ECMO as a bridge to transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (TMVIV) with a Sapien aortic prosthesis (Edwards Life Sciences, Irvine, CA).
