Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement of degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valves: A single Australian Centre experience

Abstract Background Patients with degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves may be at high risk for further surgery because of age, comorbidities and the difficulties of repeat procedures.

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background Patients with degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves may be at high risk for further surgery because of age, comorbidities and the difficulties of repeat procedures. Percutaneous valve-in-valve implantation offers what may be a simpler and safer procedure. Methods From May 2009 to March 2014 at the Prince Charles Hospital 1625 patients underwent surgical aortic valve replacement while 262 underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Twelve patients had valve-in-valve implants for degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valves. Results These implants were deployed successfully without major valvular or paravalvular regurgitation. There were no periprocedural deaths, myocardial infarcts, neurological events or major vascular complications. Two patients died after 1624 and 1319 days. Median survival for the remainder is 581 days; they are stable with New York Heart Association class I/II functional status although 4 have a degree of patient–prosthesis mismatch, one has moderate aortic regurgitation and one required surgery for a late aortic dissection. Conclusion Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation is safe and effective treatment for patients with failed bioprosthetic aortic valves for whom reoperation is considered to be hazardous.
