Abstract

Transcatheter aortic‐valve implantation is rapidly emerging as an effective, safe, and sustainable alternative for a specific subset of high‐surgical risk and/or inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, technical challenges remain for this relatively new procedure, not the least mal‐positioning of the transcatheter prosthesis resulting in acute aortic regurgitation. We report a case of deep implantation of a CoreValve prosthesis that was inadvertently pulled out of the aortic annulus during repositioning. The patient received a second sequential CoreValve successfully.© 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Background: Percutaneous aortic valve replacement is a new technology for the treatment of patients with significant aortic valve stenosis. We present the first report on a human implantation of a self-expanding aortic valve prosthesis, which is composed of three bovine pericardial leaflets inserted
