A second‐time percutaneous aortic‐valve implantation for bioprosthetic failure

Abstract

We report a case of an 84‐year‐old man with a history of surgical aortic‐valve replacement for chronic aortic regurgitation ( AR ) who later developed severe prosthetic valve AR . Subsequent treatment with a Corevalve ® was unsuccessful with severe AR seen at 3 years after the valve‐in‐valve procedure. The patient was then successfully treated with a second catheter‐based Corevalve ® implantation.
