Untreatable Severe Structural Degeneration of a Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve.


ABSTRACT: We describe a patient who presented with heart failure 7 years post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a result of severe structural valve degeneration. Anatomic challenges, combined with the type of transcatheter heart valve used initially, meant that TAVI-in-TAVI risked obstructing the coronary arteries, even if preceded by bioprosthetic aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction. The patient was treated with balloon aortic valvuloplasty.
