Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative therapeutic intervention to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).1 With the broadening of indications for TAVR to include younger and lower-risk patients, the long-term durability of transcatheter heart valves (THVs) has become relevant. For TAVR in native AS, the incidence of THV deterioration requiring SAVR or TAVR-in-TAVR is low2,3; however, the long-term durability and outcomes of THV after valve-in-valve (ViV) TAVR for degenerated SAVR is less well defined.
