A 75-year-old female patient underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with a Perceval S bioprosthesis in the setting of root calcification. Appropriate position and deployment of the bioprosthesis were confirmed visually and using transesophageal echocardiography. On postoperative day 27, infolding of the bioprosthesis with elevated transvalvular pressure gradients and mild |
paravalvular leakage was detected. Despite these findings the patient recovered well, but ultimately required reoperation 34 months later, at the age of 77 years, because of recurrent aortic stenosis and aggravating heart failure symptoms. She underwent re-AVR with a 19 mm Intuity Elite valve. The Journal of Heart Valve Disease 2018;27:206-209 |
