Transcatheter management of failed THV - LIVE case
How to select and implant the valve to treat a degenerative transcatheter valve
Recommended by PCRSummary
An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, frailty (5/6), preserved LV function, and aortic stenosis previously treated with CoreValve 26 mm in 2016, presented with symptomatic degenerative stenosis of the valve.
A Sapien 3 (23 mm) was implanted without predilatation but with post-dilatation under general anaesthesia, using cerebral embolic protection and TEE guidance. Post-dilatation was performed with the balloon of the Sapien 3 immediately after implantation in the same procedural step. Watch the procedure!
