A PERCUTANEOUS VALVE IN AN AORTIC VALVE BIOPROSTHESIS THROUGH A CAROTID PROSTHESIS (CASE REPORT)

Abstract

In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has become an emerging alternative for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. A promising new indication in this modality could be the interventional treatment of degenerated bioprostheses. We used a vascular prosthesis access in our patient to facilitate the procedure in the absence of an adequate vascular access.
