Bioprosthetic surgical valves are increasingly implanted during cardiac surgery, instead of mechanical valves. These tissue valves are associated with limited durability and as a result transcatheter valve-in-valve procedures are performed to treat failed bioprostheses. A relatively common adverse event of aortic valve-in-valve procedures is residual stenosis. Larger surgical valve size, supra-annular transcatheter heart valve type, as well as higher transcatheter heart valve implantation depth, have all been shown to reduce the incidence of elevated post-procedural gradients. With greater understanding of technical considerations and surgical planning, valve-invalve procedures could be more effective and eventually may become the standard of care for our increasingly ageing and comorbid population with failed surgical bioprostheses.

Transcatheter valve in valve (ViV) implantation actually represents a valid alternative to surgical reinterventions in patients with previous surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). In patients less than 80 years old, it is crucial to correctly position the new valve leaving a feasible and easy access to coronary ostia, both for future percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than for a future possible TAVinTAV procedure. We report a 71 year old man with prior AVR presented with structural valve deterioration (SVD) leading to severe aortic stenosis. In order to guarantee comfortable coronary access we aligned, the commissures of the new percutaneous valve with the ones of the surgical bioprothesis by reconstructing the headframes of the surgical bioprosthesis with computer tomography (CT) and fluoro-CT.

Abstract Background Failure of a small surgical aortic bioprosthesis represents a challenging clinical scenario with valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often resulting in patient-prosthesis mismatch. Bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) performed as a part of the ViV TAVI has recently emerged as an alternative approach with certain types of surgical bioprostheses. Case summary An 81-year-old woman with a history of three surgical aortic valve procedures presented with heart failure. Aortic bioprosthesis degeneration with severe stenosis and moderate regurgitation was found. The patient was deemed a high-risk surgical candidate and the heart team decided that ViV TAVI was the preferred treatment option. Due to the very small 19 mm stented surgical aortic bioprosthesis Mitroflow 19 mm (Sorin Group, Italy) we decided to perform BVF as a part of ViV TAVI to prevent patient-prosthesis mismatch. Since this was the first BVF procedure in our centre, an ex vivo BVF of the same kind of bioprosthetic valve was performed first. Subsequently, successful BVF with implantation of Evolut R 23 mm (Medtronic, USA) self-expandable transcatheter valve was performed. Excellent haemodynamic result was achieved and no periprocedural complications were present. The patient had an immediate major improvement in clinical status and remains asymptomatic after 6 months. Discussion Bioprosthetic valve fracture together with ViV TAVI is a safe and effective emerging technique for treatment of small surgical aortic bioprosthesis failure. Bioprosthetic valve fracture allows marked oversizing of implanted self-expandable transcatheter aortic valves, leading to excellent haemodynamic and clinical results. An ex vivo BVF can serve as an important preparatory step when introducing the new method.

AbstractPrior studies in patients with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) demonstrated an influence of transcatheter heart valve (THV) position on the occurrence of new conductions disturbances (CD) and paravalvular leakage (PVL) post TAVI in balloon-expandable valves (BEV). Purpose of this study was to investigate the THV implantation depth and its influence on the occurrence of CD and PVL in self-expanding valves (SEV). We performed fusion imaging of pre- and post-procedural computed tomography angiography in 104 TAVI-patients (all with Evolut R) to receive a 3-D reconstruction of the THV within the native annulus region. The THV length below the native annulus was measured for assessment of implantation depth. Electrocardiograms pre-discharge were assessed for conduction disturbances (CD), PVL was determined in transthoracic echocardiography. The mean implantation depth of the THV in the whole cohort was 4.3 ± 3.0 mm. Using the best cut-off of ≥ 4 mm in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity 83.3%, specificity 60.0%) patients with lower THV position developed more new CD after TAVI (68.2 vs. 23.7%, P < 0.001). A deep THV position was identified as the only predictor for new CD after TAVI (odds ratio [CI] 1.312[1.119–1.539], P = 0.001). The implantation depth showed no influence on the grade of PVL (r = 0.052, P = 0.598). In patients with TAVI using the Evolut R SEV, a lower THV positioning (≥ 4 mm length below annulus) was a predictor for new conduction disturbances. In contrast, implantation depth was not associated with the extent of PVL. Graphic abstract Prostheses positions of self-expanding valves and their influence on the occurrence of new conduction disturbances and the grade of paravalvular leakage after TAVI.
