Valve-in-Valve-in-Valve: Degenerated Transcatheter Heart Valve within Degenerated Surgical Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Treated with Second Transcatheter Heart Valve

Abstract

Currently, transcatheter aortic valve replacements within degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valves (valve in valve) are increasing in frequency with studies supporting their safety and efficacy. We present the rare case of a patient requiring a second transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve placed within a previously placed degenerated transcatheter aortic valve, which was implanted in a degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve. The procedure was performed using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass with TandemLife for hemodynamic support.
