Key result
Oversized TAVR successfully treats severe aortic regurgitation after valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
Why the study?
There is a paucity of literature on transcatheter aortic valve replacement after valve-sparing aortic root surgery despite reports of successful off-label use for aortic regurgitation.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of using an oversized transcatheter aortic valve for severe aortic regurgitation after valve-sparing aortic root surgery.
Supports feasibility of oversized TAVR after valve-sparing root replacement; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
The use of transcatheter aortic valves for aortic regurgitation presents unique challenges. Although studies describe their successful off-label use, there is a paucity of literature on transcatheter aortic valve replacement after valve-sparing aortic root surgery. We present a patient with severe aortic regurgitation following valve-sparing aortic root replacement that was treated with an oversized transcatheter aortic valve.

Tugulan et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Severe aortic regurgitation following valve-sparing aortic root replacement (n=1). Oversized transcatheter aortic valve was evaluated. An oversized transcatheter aortic valve was successfully used to treat a patient with severe aortic regurgitation following valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
