Key result
Rescue THV-in-THV procedures have a low overall incidence (1%) and are associated with higher in-hospital mortality and complications, but acceptable intermediate-term outcomes among survivors.
Why the study?
What are the incidence, indications, and outcomes of rescue THV-in-THV during TAVR?
What are the incidence, indications, and outcomes of rescue THV-in-THV during TAVR?
Rescue THV-in-THV is a rare (1%) but high-risk event during TAVR, though hospital survivors demonstrate acceptable intermediate-term outcomes.
Key Points The overall incidence of rescue THV‐in‐THV is low (1%). It is diminishing over time, and occurs to a lesser extent with the newer generation TAVR platforms. Rescue THV‐in‐THV is usually performed for valve mal‐positioning with or without significant aortic regurgitation. A rescue THV‐in‐THV procedure is associated with higher in‐hospital mortality and complications, but acceptable intermediate‐term outcomes among hospital survivors.

Koneru et al. (2021) conducted an editorial in Rescue THV-in-THV (TAVI). Rescue THV-in-THV procedure was evaluated on In-hospital mortality and complications. Rescue THV-in-THV procedures have a low overall incidence (1%) and are associated with higher in-hospital mortality and complications, but acceptable intermediate-term outcomes among survivors.
