A case is described of aortic stenosis that was initially treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to a high-risk profile. Following dysfunction of the TAVI prosthesis, conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) was successfully performed; the subsequent postoperative course was uneventful. |
In conclusion, the target population for TAVI must be more accurately specified, with further research helping to define whether AVR or TAVI is the best treatment option for ‘intermediate-risk’ patients. The Journal of Heart Valve Disease 2015;24:519-521 |
