Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was successfully performed in 52 patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis and pre-existing mitral valve prostheses.
Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) feasible and successful in patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis and pre-existing mitral valve prosthesis?
TAVI can be successfully performed in patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis and pre-existing mitral valve prostheses, despite technical challenges.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation ( TAVI) in pre-existing mitral valve conditions is a technical challenge. Documentation on use of TAVI in rheumatic heart disease is sparsely available. We herein describe successful implantation of transcatheter aortic valve in 52 patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis.
