Abstract

Coronary obstruction remains a primary concern for redo transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to supra-annular leaflets. Hereby, we present two valve-in-valve-in-valve cases, initially incorporating a surgical valve implanted to clarify our concept that the surgical valve serves to safeguard against the coronary ostium obstruction.

Keywords: Redo-TAVI; TAVI; Transcatheter aortic valve implantation; Valve-in-valve; Valve-in-valve-in-valve.
