Abstract

Critical bioprosthetic aortic valve stenosis is a rare finding in the second trimester of pregnancy. We present the case of a successful valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a 16-weeks-pregnant patient. We describe the significant role of the multidisciplinary heart team during preconception and pregnancy.

Keywords: TAVR; aortic stenosis; pregnancy; valve-in-valve.
