TAVI in TAVI - LIVE case
Balloon expandable valve in a self-expandable valve
Summary
A 74-year-old male with a history of cancer, TAVI with Evolut R 34 in 2019, COPD, obesity, and RBBB presents with a symptomatic degenerated valve (regurgitation).
It was decided to implant a Sapien 3 Ultra 26, without pre-dilatation and post-dilatation, using a temporary pacing lead (due to RBBB), via the right femoral approach with right radial as secondary access. The closure devices used were 1 ProGlide and 1 AngioSeal.

Learning Objectives
- To reflect on current indications of TAVI for degenerated bioprostheses including re-do TAVI
- To learn how to plan a re-do TAVI procedure?
- To appreciate how to optimise a valve-in-valve procedure with special regard to a re-do TAVI for a degenerated SE-Prosthesis
