Abstract

A 76-year-old woman was admitted to the authors' hospital with pulmonary edema five months after the successful implantation of a Perceval sutureless aortic valve (Sorin Group Srl, Saluggia, Italy). Both echocardiography and computed tomography scanning demonstrated migration of the aortic valve into the left ventricle, causing severe aortic and mitral (secondary) insufficiency. Following heart team discussions, the sutureless valve was replaced with a standard bioprosthesis (Perimount, Magna Ease; Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California, USA) with spontaneous restoration of native mitral valve competence. The present case is the first of a new presentation of early Perceval sutureless aortic valve proximal migration, and highlights the importance of careful preoperative assessment and regular postoperative follow up after sutureless aortic valve implantation.
