Despite advances in surgical techniques for mitral valve repair, more than 20% of patients require reoperation within 10 years due to recurrence of severe mitral regurgitation. However, reoperations on the mitral valve are often associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We report a transapical mitral valve‐in‐ring implantation in a patient who had undergone mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation using a complete semi‐rigid Memo 3D mitral ring (LivaNova Group, Milan, Italy).
