Implante de válvula aórtica percutánea en paciente con prótesis mitral previa: riesgos y consideraciones técnicas / Successful deployment of a percutaneous aortic valve in a patient with a mitral prosthesis: risks and technical considerations

ABSTRACT

The deployment of a percutaneous aortic valve is challenging in patients with a mitral prosthesis. The risk of prosthetic deformation, embolization or dysfunction is higher in this group of patients, which requires a series of technical considerations. We report a successful implantation of an Evolut Pro # 29 self-expanding valve in a 67-year-old female with a previous Starr-Edwards caged-ball mitral prosthesis.
