Abstract
Dual-frame transcatheter mitral valve replacement has emerged over the last decade as an alternative to mitral valve surgery in patients with severe mitral regurgitation, especially in the presence of prohibitive operative risk. This paper presents a case of massive superinfected thrombosis of the Tendyne valve tether along with its risk factors, diagnosis, and management.
