3-Year Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Restenosis: A Rare Complication

Figures

• 

  Figure 1. EKG showing normal sinus rhythm, right bundle branch block (RBBB), left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) (unchanged from prior EKGs).

• 

  Figure 2. Chest x-ray showing mild patchy increased opacities in the lung bases possibly representing mild edema or atypical pneumonia in the appropriate clinical setting.

• 

  Figure 3. Transthoracic echocardiogram showing velocity across the bioprosthetic valve of 5.4 m/s, a mean gradient of 71 mmHg, and an aortic valve area of 0.5 cm.

• 

  Figure 4. Transthoracic echocardiogram showing the aortic peak velocity of 6.1 m/s, the highest AV mean gradient of 99.8 mmHg, and the AV area calculated at 0.37 cm². The AV velocity ratio/Dimensionless Index is 0.14. There is severe prosthetic aortic stenosis. AV: Aortic valve.
