Key result
ViV-TAVI yields comparable 30-day and procedural mortality versus redo SAVR.
Why the study?
Bioprosthetic aortic valve degeneration necessitates redo surgery, but outcomes comparing the novel alternative ViV-TAVI against redo SAVR needed evaluation.
Does ViV-TAVI reduce procedural and 30-day all-cause mortality compared to redo SAVR in patients with degenerated aortic bioprosthetic valves?
Population

Supports ViV-TAVI as alternative with similar short-term mortality; extends meta-analytic evidence for degenerated bioprosthetic valves.
Meta-Analysis (n=533)
Does ViV-TAVI reduce procedural and 30-day all-cause mortality compared to redo SAVR in patients with degenerated aortic bioprosthetic valves?
Odds Ratio: 1.16 (95% CI 0.5–2.7)
Absolute Event Rate: 5.7% vs 4.6%
p-value: p=0.65
ViV-TAVI offers comparable procedural and 30-day mortality to redo SAVR in patients with degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valves, though it is associated with higher rates of elevated postoperative gradients and paravalvular leaks.
Chan et al. (2020) conducted a meta-analysis in Aortic Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration (n=533). Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) vs. Conventional redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo SAVR) was evaluated on 30-day all-cause mortality (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.50-2.70, p=0.65). Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation resulted in comparable 30-day all-cause mortality (OR 1.16) and procedural mortality compared to conventional redo surgical aortic valve replacement.
