Transcatheter aortic valve‐in‐valve implantation of a corevalve in a degenerated stenotic sapien heart valve prosthesis [PDF]

open access: bronzeCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2013
Treatment options for re‐stenotic aortic valve prosthesis implanted by transcatheter technique have not been evaluated systematically. We describe the case of a 75‐year‐old dialysis patient who was treated by transcatheter aortic valve implantation 3.5 years ago and now presented with severe stenosis of the percutaneous heart valve.

Early experience with percutaneous transcatheter implantation of heart valve prosthesis for the treatment of end-stage inoperable patients with calcific aortic stenosis

open access: bronzeJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2004
This study was done to assess the results of percutaneous heart valve (PHV) implantation in non-surgical patients with end-stage calcific aortic stenosis.Replacement of PHV has been shown to be feasible in animals and humans. We developed a PHV composed of three pericardial leaflets inserted within a balloon-expandable stainless steel stent.

Under pressure: The first valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation for stenosis of a BioValsalva prosthesis using a Sapien 3 Ultra balloon expandable valve in a patient with complex congenital heart disease

open access: goldHeart, Vessels and Transplantation, 2022
Advances in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease (CHD) have resulted in an increased number of patients living into adulthood. Despite increased survival, these patients often require surgery at a young age and are susceptible to developing complications related to the degeneration of surgical prostheses and valves.

German Experience with a Novel Balloon-Expandable Heart Valve Prosthesis for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation—Outcomes of the MYLAND (MYvaL germAN stuDy) Study [PDF]

open access: goldJournal of Clinical Medicine
Background: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the initial experience in Germany with the Meril Myval™ (MM) transcatheter heart valve (THV) system for the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. The MM THV is a novel balloon-expandable valve with an expanded sizing matrix.

The Heart Team during the Pandemic: A Case Report of Bio-Prosthesis Degeneration Treated with Valve in Valve Implantation

open access: greenJournal of Cardiovascular Echography
The pandemic changed the type of patients. The concept of “patient at the center” became concrete. The execution of simple consultancy was overcome to create effective collaboration and fruitful exchanges between specialists. The “Heart Team” model is on increasing affirmation.

Multicenter Evaluation of Prosthesis Oversizing of the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve. Impact on Device Failure and New Pacemaker Implantations

open access: closedRevista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2019
A certain degree of prosthesis oversizing (OS) is recommended for the SAPIEN 3 to achieve device success. However, an increase in OS may increase permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) rates. We therefore investigated the influence of OS on device failure and PPI.A total of 804 patients were treated with SAPIEN 3 at 3 centers.

MULTICENTER EVALUATION OF PROSTHESIS OVERSIZING FOR THE SAPIEN 3 TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE – IMPACT ON NEW PACEMAKER IMPLANTATIONS

open access: closedJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017
Background: Prosthesis sizing in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) uses certain prosthesis oversizing (OS) to achieve device success. However, an increase in OS may increase the need for permanent pacemaker implantations (PPI).
