Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for a bicuspid aortic valve following replacement of the ascending aorta

J Card Surg. 2017 Jun;32(6):355-357. doi: 10.1111/jocs.13151. Epub 2017 May 21.

Abstract

A normally functioning bicuspid aortic valve that is spared during replacement of the ascending aorta may ultimately require replacement due to structural deterioration. We report the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement to replace a stenotic BAV 17 years following replacement of the ascending aorta.
