Zusammenfassung
Objective: The current study was designed to assess the short term follow-up using a mitral valved stent. Methods: A self expanding, repositionable mitral valved stent was created for transcapical implantation. Six pigs underwent successful transcatheter implantation. Data were gathered to assess the hemodynamic after stent implantation (n=6), 6 hours (n=6) and 1-week (n=4). The valved stent function was assessed by TEE. Cardiac 3D-CT-64-slice-scan was used to evaluate positioning of the new implant. Results and Discussion: Valved stent deployment and accurate subsequent adjustment of intra-annular position allo…
