Surgical Implantation of an Embolized CoreValve Transcatheter Self-Expandable Aortic Bioprosthesis; a Case report

Key Points

To describe the surgical management of a failed TAVR due to dislodgment of a CoreValve.
Case report of a 78-year-old male with symptomatic aortic stenosis
Management involved surgical retrieval and re-implantation of a dislodged CoreValve

Successful re-implantation of the dislodged valve
Patient remains stable following the intervention
Demonstrates the potential for surgical options in complex TAVR cases

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the modern era of valvular disease management is considered an attractive alternative to surgery in higher-risk patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. We report on a case of failed TAVR in a 78-year-old male, complicated by the dislodgment of a CoreValve into the distal ascending aorta after it was successfully implanted. The case was managed surgically by retrieving and re-implanting the dislodged valve as a bailout strategy.
