Electrical mapping was attempted and complicated with catheter entrapping in the mitral valve (MV) apparatus, and multiple attempts for retrieval were unsuccessful and caused severe valvular dysfunction. Emergent valve replacement was required secondary to the extensive disruption of the valvular apparatus and posterior annulus. Mapping catheter entrapment in the valvular apparatus is an uncommon complication, but when it occurs, there is a high risk of injury to the MV apparatus during retrieval. To avoid extensive MV damage, operators should use minimal force during standard manoeuvres to extract the catheter. If gentle retrieval manoeuvres fail, surgical exploration and open retrieval may prevent MV damage. Early surgical consultation and exploration could result in open catheter retrieval or MV repair versus MV replacement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/icvts\/ivab042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,11]],"date-time":"2021-05-11T19:12:40Z","timestamp":1620760360000},"page":"136-138","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Emergent valve replacement after circular mapping catheter entrapment in mitral valve apparatus"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"M N","family":"Karabulut","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Cardiovascular Therapies and Transplantation, Center for Advanced Heart Failure, University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M Hakan","family":"Akay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Cardiovascular Therapies and Transplantation, Center for Advanced Heart Failure, University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismael A","family":"Salas de Armas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Cardiovascular Therapies and Transplantation, Center for Advanced Heart Failure, University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2290-2964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor D","family":"Gregoric","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Cardiovascular Therapies and Transplantation, Center for Advanced Heart Failure, University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022030915245736800_ivab042-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"819","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1540-8167.2002.00819.x","article-title":"Circular mapping catheter entrapment in the mitral valve apparatus: a previously unrecognized complication of focal atrial fibrillation ablation","volume":"13","author":"Wu","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol"},{"key":"2022030915245736800_ivab042-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCEP.109.859116","article-title":"Updated worldwide survey on methods, efficacy, and safety of catheter ablation for human atrial fibrillation","volume":"3","author":"Cappato","year":"2010","journal-title":"Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol"},{"key":"2022030915245736800_ivab042-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"772","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.1998.tb00138.x","article-title":"Catheter entrapment in the mitral valve apparatus requiring surgical removal: an unusual complication of radiofrequency ablation","volume":"21","author":"Mandawat","year":"1998","journal-title":"Pacing Clin Electrophysiol"},{"key":"2022030915245736800_ivab042-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.1007\/s00392-008-0677-2","article-title":"Demand for open heart surgery due to entrapment of a circular mapping catheter in the mitral valve in a patient undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation","volume":"97","author":"Grove","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin Res Cardiol"},{"key":"2022030915245736800_ivab042-B5","first-page":"221338","article-title":"Circular mapping catheter entrapment in mitral valve apparatus requiring emergency surgery: a rarely reported complication of pulmonary vein isolation procedure for atrial fibrillation","volume":"25","author":"Sabar","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article-pdf\/33\/1\/136\/42780348\/ivab042.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article-pdf\/33\/1\/136\/42780348\/ivab042.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T15:44:57Z","timestamp":1646840697000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article\/33\/1\/136\/6297508"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/icvts\/ivab042","relation":{},"ISSN":["1569-9285"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1569-9285","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,1]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]]}}}
