Distortion of the CoreValve during transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation due to valve dislocation

Geraud Souteyrand et al. Cardiovasc Revasc Med. 2013 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Nowadays transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an accepted alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for high-risk patients (pts). Successful TAVI procedures for failed aortic surgical bioprosthesis (TAV-in-SAV) have already been reported. In the presented two cases of TAV-in-SAV implantation a strut distortion of the stent was revealed on angiographic imaging and confirmed on control CT scan. In both procedures, a dislocation of the medtronic core valve (MCV) prosthesis during implantation led to valve retrieval, with a necessity of reloading it in the 18F introducer before subsequent implantation of the same valve in correct position.

Keywords: Bioprosthetic; CoreValve distortion; Transcatheter aortic valve implantation; Valve-in-valve.
