Feasibility of Aortic VIV Procedure with Portico Self Expandable
Transcatheter Aortic Valve for a Failing Sutureless Perceval S valve
Abstract
Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation may be considered in patients
with failing surgical bioprosthesis caused by severe regurgitation or
stenosis, regardless of sur¬gical valve position. This case report
presents a 70-years-old woman presenting with worsening dyspnea,
according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III, after she had
received a Sorin Perceval® S sutureless valve due to severe aortic valve
stenosis one year ago. Echocardiography revealed severe valvular aortic
regurgitation and stenosis. Instead of reoperation, the transcatheter
valve in the valve procedure was planned. Here we present the first case
of the trans-femoral implant of a self-expandable (Portico) aortic valve
in a leaking sutureless self-expandable valve.
