Percutaneous valve-in-valve procedure using the Corevalve Revalving system
O
Outcome

This case report demonstrates the initial feasibility of a percutaneous valve-in-valve procedure using the Corevalve Revalving system for treating severe regurgitation in a degenerated bioprosthesis.
Abstract
Percutaneous valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis has shown to be an alternative treatment option for non-surgical candidates. We report on the first successful valve in valve procedure in an 80-year-old patient with a severe regurgitation of a degenerated aortic bioprosthesis using the Corevalve Revalving system.
