# Massive Superinfected Thrombosis of Dual-Frame Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

## TL;DR

The paper discusses a rare case of severe infection and blood clotting in a specific heart valve replacement procedure.

## Contribution

It presents a unique clinical case involving superinfected thrombosis of a Tendyne valve tether.

## Key findings

- Massive superinfected thrombosis occurred in a Tendyne valve tether.
- Risk factors, diagnosis, and management strategies are discussed.
- This case highlights complications in transcatheter mitral valve replacement.

## 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.
