Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation in a 17-year-old patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited research has been conducted on the surgical management of the aortic valve in congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGA) and to our knowledge there have been no reports on the treatment of bicuspid aortic regurgitation (AR) in ccTGA. We report on a ccTGA patient with bicuspid AR and systemic right ventricule (SRV) dysfunction who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Case summary

A 17-year-old male with a history of ccTGA and cerebral palsy diagnosed at birth presented with heart failure. During childhood, he did not experience any heart failure symptoms, however, secondary to progressive bicuspid AR he experienced worsening SRV dysfunction beginning at 15-year-old. Echocardiography showed reduced SRV ejection fractio
