Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a novel pre-packaged self-expandable dry-tissue transcatheter aortic valve: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current commercially available transcatheter aortic valves are stored separately in a glutaraldehyde solution and mounted onto the delivery system by a technical expert during the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. A pre-mounted dry-tissue valve that is crimped on a ready-to-use delivery system could simplify the procedure. The Vienna self-expanding transcatheter valve (P&F, GmbH, Wessling, Germany) is a novel ready-to-use pre-mounted dry-tissue transcatheter aortic valve. There are no prior reports on the efficacy of this valve system.

Case summary

Here, we report our experience of an implantation of a novel ready-to-use dry-tissue Vienna transcatheter aortic valve in a 72-year-old male with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and severe lef
