Key result
TAVI succeeds in 52 patients with rheumatic AS and pre-existing mitral valve prostheses.
Why the study?
TAVI in pre-existing mitral valve conditions is technically challenging and documentation of its use in rheumatic heart disease is sparsely available.
Is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) feasible and successful in patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis and pre-existing mitral valve prosthesis?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
TAVI can be successfully performed in patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis and pre-existing mitral valve prostheses, despite technical challenges.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation ( TAVI) in pre-existing mitral valve conditions is a technical challenge. Documentation on use of TAVI in rheumatic heart disease is sparsely available. We herein describe successful implantation of transcatheter aortic valve in 52 patients with rheumatic aortic stenosis.
