Does the size of the original failed valve and type of transcatheter valve influence long-term mortality and need for reintervention after aortic ViV?
Original failed valve size and transcatheter valve type may impact long-term mortality and reintervention rates after aortic valve-in-valve procedures.
The size of the original failed valve may influence long-term mortality, and the type of the transcatheter valve may influence the need for reintervention after aortic ViV.
Bleiziffer et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
