Implication
Valve-in-valve may serve as bailout for severe post-TAVR AI; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Structured PICO
Does the valve-in-valve technique effectively treat severe aortic insufficiency after balloon-expandable TAVR?
P
Population
142 consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable valve, of which 5 developed severe aortic insufficiency requiring intervention
I
Intervention
Valve-in-valve technique (deploying a second valve within the first one)
O
Outcome
Procedural and intermediate term clinical outcomes, and etiologies of acute aortic insufficiencysurrogate
The valve-in-valve technique serves as an appropriate bailout measure for acute severe aortic insufficiency following balloon-expandable TAVR.
