Transcatheter aortic valve replacement after valve-sparing aortic root surgery

Abstract

The use of transcatheter aortic valves for aortic regurgitation presents unique challenges. Although studies describe their successful off-label use, there is a paucity of literature on transcatheter aortic valve replacement after valve-sparing aortic root surgery. We present a patient with severe aortic regurgitation following valve-sparing aortic root replacement that was treated with an oversized transcatheter aortic valve.
