Resumen de Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Failed Bioprosthetic Surgical Valves

Danny Dvir, John G. Webb, Sabine Bleiziffer, Miralem Pasic

• Importance Owing to a considerable shift toward bioprosthesis implantation rather than mechanical valves, it is expected that patients will increasingly present with degenerated bioprostheses in the next few years. Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation is a less invasive approach for patients with structural valve deterioration; however, a comprehensive evaluation of survival after the procedure has not yet been performed.

  Objective To determine the survival of patients after transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation inside failed surgical bioprosthetic valves.
