Abstract
Catheter-based valve implantation techniques are becoming a viable option in various clinical situations to replace difficult redo open heart surgical procedures. This is a report of a first, to our knowledge, successful valve-in-valve (VinV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) into a homograft through the transaortic (TAo) access route using an Edwards SAPIEN valve prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, LLC, Irvine, CA) in a patient with poor left ventricular function and generalized severe atherosclerosis.
