Case Report: The hybrid cable technique in transcatheter mitral valve implantation with Myval THV—Technical insights from three high-risk cases

This report presents the first dedicated case series of TMVI using a cable-assisted hybrid rail strategy with the Myval THV. The technique enabled precise and stable valve deployment in anatomically complex settings while minimizing myocardial trauma. Early outcomes suggest that it is a feasible, safe, and reproducible option for patients at high surgical risk or with contraindications to conventional TMVI routes. These preliminary findings support further investigation in broader clinical cohorts.

Abstract

This report presents the first dedicated case series of TMVI using a cable-assisted hybrid rail strategy with the Myval THV. The technique enabled precise and stable valve deployment in anatomically complex settings while minimizing myocardial trauma. Early outcomes suggest that it is a feasible, safe, and reproducible option for patients at high surgical risk or with contraindications to conventional TMVI routes. These preliminary findings support further investigation in broader clinical cohorts.
