Abstract:
Bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve failure represents a significant clinical challenge that necessitates timely and effective intervention to restore valve function and ensure patient well-being. Use of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) has emerged as a feasible alternative to reoperation surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). By providing a less invasive option, this approach offers the opportunity to reduce the potential risks of a reoperation surgery. However, it is important to note that implementing ViV-TAVI requires careful preparation. This review outlines a thorough approach to ViV-TAVI, encompassing preprocedural planning, valve selection, implantation procedure, and its complications. With the availability of updated clinical data supporting long-term outcomes, this particular strategy is an excellent choice for the treatment of failed surgical aortic bioprostheses.
