Background: Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) is associated with improved perioperative safety compared to redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo-SAVR), but long-term outcomes remain uncertain. We therefore compare long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR and redo-SAVR.
Methods: The study included 1:1 propensity-matched Medicare beneficiaries with degenerated bioprosthetic valves admitted between 09/29/2011 and 12/30/2020 undergoing either redo-SAVR or ViV-TAVR.

The volume of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treatment of isolated aortic stenosis has far surpassed surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). There has been a consequent increase in TAVI explantation, now the fastest growing cardiac surgical procedure. Transcatheter heart valve explantation can be technically complex, with higher perioperative morbidity and mortality than routine SAVR or valve-in-valve TAVI.

A 79-year-old woman, previously treated for congenital pulmonary valve stenosis through surgical and transcatheter procedures, presented with worsening dyspnea. This led to the identification of valve thrombosis in her bioprosthetic pulmonary valve. This report delves into the clinical importance of obstructive valve thrombosis, its diagnostic assessment, and potential therapeutic strategies.
