  • Title: Transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis surgically replaced 4 months after implantation.
    Author: Thyregod HG, Lund JT, Engstrøm T, Steinbrüchel DA.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2010 Feb; 37(2):494-6. PubMed ID: 19775904.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a new and rapidly evolving treatment option for high-risk surgical patients with degenerative aortic valve stenosis. Long-term results with these new valve prostheses are lacking, and potential valve dysfunction and failure would require valve replacement. We report the first case of surgical valve replacement in a patient with a dysfunctional transcatheter-implanted aortic valve prosthesis 4 months after implantation.
