Modified valve-in-valve bailout technique of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in severe aortic regurgitation for valve jumping up to ascending aorta: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aortic regurgitation remains a challenge for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), because of the high risk of post-procedural migration or paravalvular leakage resulting from the anatomical and pathophysiological features.

Case summary

A 75-year-old male with symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation underwent transfemoral TAVR due to poor physical condition and a Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of 11.3%. However, complete dislodgement of the valve into the ascending aorta occurred during the operation. We performed a modified valve-in-valve technique by using an ablation catheter (instead of performing urgent surgery), and no post-interventional complications were found during hospitalization. The patient was discharged in a stable condition on postope
