  • Title: Aortic valve replacement after transapical valve-in-valve implantation.
    Author: Silva D, Stripling JH, Hansen L, Riess FC.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Jan; 91(1):e5-7. PubMed ID: 21172473.
    Abstract:
    Transapical valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement has emerged as an attractive alternative for high-risk surgery in elderly patients with degenerated aortic bioprothesis. Despite recent encouraging results, further clinical investigation is required to avoid potential cases of prosthesis-aortic annulus mismatch. We report a surgical valve replacement in a high-risk patient with dysfunctional transapical, implanted aortic valve-in-valve prosthesis 1 year after implantation.
