Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Failed Transcatheter Bioprosthetic Valves

JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2022 Sep 26;15(18):1777-1793. doi: 10.1016/j.jcin.2022.07.035.

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly being performed in younger and lower surgical risk patients. Given the longer life expectancy of these patients, the bioprosthetic valve will eventually fail, and aortic valve reintervention may be necessary. Although currently rare, redo-TAVR will likely increase in the future as younger patients are expected to outlive their transcatheter bioprosthesis. This review provides a contemporary overview of the indications, procedural planning, implantation technique, and outcomes of TAVR in failed transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valves.

Keywords: redo-TAVR; transcatheter heart valve; valve in valve.
