Summary: | Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation for Degenerated Bioprosthetic Heart Valves Holger Eggebrecht, Ulrich Schäfer, Hendrik Treede, Peter Boekstegers, Jörg Babin-Ebell, Markus Ferrari, Helge Möllmann, Helmut Baumgartner, Thierry Carrel, Philipp Kahlert, Philipp Lange, Thomas Walther, Raimund Erbel, Rajendra H. Mehta, Matthias Thielmann Multicenter data from 47 patients aged 64 to 97 years undergoing transfemoral (n = 25) or transapical (n = 22) valve-in-valve (viv) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for degenerated surgically implanted bioprosthetic heart valves were analyzed. Procedural success was obtained in all patients. Vascular access complications occurred in 6 (13%). Five (11%) patients required new pacemaker implantation. Valvular function was excellent with respect to valve competence, but increased transvalvular gradients ≥20 mm Hg were noted in 44%. Mortality at 30 days was 17% (1 procedural and 7 post-procedural deaths). Valve-in-valve TAVI can be performed with high technical success rates, acceptable post-procedural valvular function, and excellent functional improvement. |
