A pregnant woman presented with symptomatic bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis. We discuss the difficulties of decision making in this particular situation where two lives are at stake, the fetus’s and the mother’s, questioning whether transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation can be an effective and safe option for this challenging condition. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
