Background: Aortic root rupture is a rare but potentially fatal complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Herein, we report a case of aortic root rupture during TAVI that was successfully managed with partial aortic root repair and aortic valve replacement.
Case Presentation: An 83-year-old woman with severe bicuspid aortic stenosis underwent transfemoral TAVI using a 26 mm SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve.

Background: Early bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD) due to pannus formation is uncommon in elderly patients, and only a limited number of cases have been reported.
Case Summary: An 84-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnoea 3 years after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a 19 mm Epic™ valve (Abbott, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated progressive BVD, and cardiac computed tomography (CT) revealed sub-aortic pannus formation.

Background: Conventional stented, rapid deployment and new-generation stented valves are now available for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). New-generation devices feature advanced tissue treatment for theoretical prolonged durability and a new stent design able to expand in case of future transcatheter Valve-in-Valve. Aim of this retrospective, multicenter, propensity-weighted study was to compare early clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of these three different bioprostheses.
