Abstract

Read online

Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an effective treatment for aortic bioprosthetic valve degeneration. ViV-TAVI could lead to coronary occlusion. We describe the case of a patient treated with double chimney technique to protect coronary ostia followed by post-dilation for high residual transvalvular gradient using “three-kissing balloon” approach. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
