A Tricky Percutaneous Paravalvular Leak Closure Two Years After Implantation of 3f Enable Sutureless Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve.
Sutureless valves were designed in an attempt to simplify the aortic valve replacement procedure and reduce extracorporeal circuit time, whilst allowing complete excision of the calcified native valve using a minimally invasive approach. Elderly patients with significant comorbidities are considered to benefit the most, although randomized data are lacking. In registries of patients treated wit...
متن کاملPercutaneous aortic CoreValve prosthesis in a degenerated bioprosthesis.
minimal regurgitation (Figure 3C). The patient was discharged 6 days after the procedure, with improved symptoms and a reduction of NTProBNP concentration from 2561.3 to 187.6 pg/ mL. At 8 months of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic. We report the first case of successful treatment of severe stenosis of a degenerated aortic bioprosthesis using the percutaneous CoreValve prosthesis. This c...
متن کاملPercutaneous coil embolisation of a false aortic aneurysm following coronary surgery and mediastinitis.
A 71-year-old male patient was admitted with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis two months after coronary artery bypass grafting. Treatment with immediate surgical debridement, removal of sternal wires and use of vacuum-assisted closure device was started. Spiral computerised tomography and aortography revealed a false aortic aneurysm at the cannulation site. Active media...
متن کاملPercutaneous valve repair and replacement: challenges encountered, challenges met, challenges ahead.
Percutaneous valve therapy developed initially with aortic valve replacement, described by Andersen et al3 in 1992 in a swine model. These investigators fabricated a stent-mounted bioprosthetic valve and demonstrated that percutaneous implantation is feasible. Bonhoeffer et al4 reported the use of a stent-mounted bioprosthesis for pulmonic valve replacement in 2000. This achievement clearly mar...
متن کاملPrimary and redo valve replacement before and after liver transplantation.
We report the case of a 39-year-old man who underwent life-saving aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis for acute endocarditis while on the liver transplant waiting list, followed by successful transplantation and late valve re-replacement with a mechanical prosthesis, 10.8 years after primary valve surgery.
