The valve‐in‐valve technique: Transcatheter treatment of aortic bioprothesis malposition
Key result
Implantation of a second 18-Fr CoreValve prosthesis (valve-in-valve technique) was successfully performed in an 84-year-old woman following suboptimal deployment of the first prosthesis.

Ussia et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Severe aortic valve stenosis / aortic bioprosthesis malposition (n=1). Valve-in-valve technique (implantation of two 18-Fr CoreValve prostheses) was evaluated on Clinical and hemodynamic results. Implantation of a second 18-Fr CoreValve prosthesis (valve-in-valve technique) was successfully performed in an 84-year-old woman following suboptimal deployment of the first prosthesis.
