Resolution of heart block after surgical correction of failed transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Surgical aortic valve replacement is the gold standard therapy for severe aortic stenosis but transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly employed in “high-risk” patients. Atrioventricular block and aortic regurgitation are frequent complications of nitinol-based stented valves. W...

| Zusammenfassung: | Surgical aortic valve replacement is the gold standard therapy for severe aortic stenosis but transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly employed in “high-risk” patients. Atrioventricular block and aortic regurgitation are frequent complications of nitinol-based stented valves. We report a case of successful, but complex reoperative surgery 13 days after failed TAVI with iatrogenic aortic and mitral regurgitation and new-onset heart block. Removal of a CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN) with standard aortic valve replacement resulted in restoration of sinus rhythm and valvular competencies. |
