Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation: a selection change? Implante valve-in-valve transcateter em posição aórtica: uma mudança de seleção?

Objective: Aortic valve replacement for bioprosthesis dysfunction is a procedure involving considerable risk. In some cases, mortality is high and may contraindicate the procedure. Minimally invasive transcatheter aortic “valvein-valve” implant appears to be an alternative, reducing morbidity and mortality. The objective is to evaluate aortic valve-in-valve procedure using Braile Inovare prosthesis. Methods: The Braile Inovare pr osthesis, transcatheter, expandable balloon, was used in 14 cases. Average EuroSCORE was 42.9%. All patients had double aortic
