Abstract

A 65-year-old obese woman with rheumatic heart disease and restrictive lung disease presented with decompensated heart failure.

She underwent successful transfemoral transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement with a dedicated valve resulting in improved functional status. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: TMVR; mitral regurgitation; mitral stenosis.
