ABSTRACT
Aortic paravalvular leakage (PVL) is a recognised complication of surgically replaced valves which is often treated using vascular plugs. Whilst transcatheter valve-in-valve therapy has been increasingly used for failed surgical bioprostheses, it is not considered as a treatment option for aortic PVL. However, the newer design of transcatheter aortic valves has a fabric skirt to create a more effective seal around the annulus. To our best knowledge, for the first time, we report successful adoption of the valve-in-valve therapy for the treatment of PVL in surgical bioprosthetic aortic valves such that the fabric skirt is placed immediately below the regurgitant orifice resulting in significant reduction in the PVL.
