Abstract:
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an optimal alternative in selected groups of patients and evolved from procedures in non-option patients to lower-risk-profile patients. One of its main indications is previous cardiac surgery, since redo-intervention is burdened with a higher risk of complications. However, TAVI after mitral valve surgery may raise concerns due to potential interference with the mitral prosthesis or ring during or after the procedure. The present paper reviews the current knowledge, including possible complications and procedural aspects.
