The extent of calcification of the mitral valve annulus was analysed, and the impact on safety outcomes was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The prevalence of mitral annular calcification (MAC) was 43%. Calcification of the mitral valve annulus was either less than or at least one-third of the posterior annulus (34% and 32%), the whole posterior annulus (28%) or the extension to the attachment of the anterior leaflets (7%). Severe circumferential MAC revealed moderate paravalvular leaks in 5\/8 (63%) patients and was associated with right branch bundle block [odds ratio (OR) 2.01 (0.39\u20133.06); P\u2009=\u20090.098] and low cardiac output [OR 3.12 (1.39\u20137.04); P\u2009=\u20090.033]. Subannular calcification at the anterolateral trigonum represented a risk factor for left ventricular outflow tract injury [OR 3.54 (1.38\u20138.27); P\u2009=\u20090.001] in balloon-expandable valves, associated with relevant rhythm disorders [OR 2.26 (1.17\u20135.65); P\u2009=\u20090.014] and female gender (7\/8, 88%). The 30-day all-cause mortality in circumferential MAC reaching into the anterior annulus (grade IV) compared to patients with less MAC (grade I\u2013III) was 13% vs 2% with a mean valve size of 24.6 vs 25.7\u2009mm.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Extensive MAC was associated with moderate paravalvular leaks, with implications for the prosthesis size and survival in transcatheter aortic valve implants. In severe MAC, we recommend implanting oversized self-expandable prostheses, the goal being to reduce the risk of right branch bundle block and paravalvular leaks.<\/jats:p>\n
