Matryoshka procedure for Valve‐in‐Valve TAVI failure

Abstract

Abstract Valve‐in‐valve transcatheter valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) procedures for deteriorated bioprosthesis are an established therapeutic option for high‐risk patients. The presence of the fixed sewing ring of the bioprosthesis can hamper appropriate expansion of the TAVI. We present a case of a ViViV‐TAVI, as a salvage procedure for acute ViV‐TAVI failure.
