Abstract

JenaValve^TM system is a second-generation transcatheter heart valve that provides a successful deployment not only in calcified stenotic aortic valves but also in non-calcified, severe regurgitant aortic valves. We performed a transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure using this system without any procedure-related complications in a 75-year-old woman with multiple co-morbidity factors, who had both mitral and aortic regurgitation, and low ejection fraction.
