Mitral Valve Prosthesis Disk Embolization During Transeptal Atrioventricular Junction Ablation

Mitral Valve Prosthesis Disk Embolization During Transeptal Atrioventricular Junction Ablation We report a case of disk embolization from a Bjork‐Shiley mitral valve prosthesis (Shiley Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) which occurred during transeptal atrioventricular (RV) junction ablation. The disk lodged in the lower thoracic aorta. The patient was treated successfully by emergency valve replacement, and the escaped disk has been left in situ with no complications.

Abstract

We report a case of disk embolization from a Bjork‐Shiley mitral valve prosthesis (Shiley Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) which occurred during transeptal atrioventricular (RV) junction ablation. The disk lodged in the lower thoracic aorta. The patient was treated successfully by emergency valve replacement, and the escaped disk has been left in situ with no complications.
