Why Valve-in-Valve? Growing need for treatment options for patients with failed bioprosthetic valve as population ages, life expectancy improves, and use of bioprosthetic valves increases Operative mortality for elective redo aortic valve surgery is generally low (2% to 7%), but it can increase to more than 30% in high-risk and non-elective patients Because transcatheter aortic valve (TAV)-in-surgical aortic valve (SAV) implantation represents a minimally invasive alternative to conventional redo surgery, it may prove to be safer and just as effective as redo surgery 1.

VIV Procedure: Pre-case Planning Careful pre-case planning is essential to Valve-in-Valve procedural success Patient Selection Avoid patients: Concomitant PVL Is not securely fixed in the native annulus Has a partially detached leaflet (embolization risky ) Valve Identification through patients charts & flouroscopic imaging CT is highly recommended bioprosthesis Determine valve size and differents diameters Valve Sizing Select appropriate appropriate TAVI to implant

Patient Prosthesis Mismatch Patient prosthesis mismatch (PPM) occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) of a normally functioning prosthesis is too small in relation to the patient s body size... 1 It has been well documented in surgical literature that PPM exists in 20-70% of surgical implants and has negative impacts on the regression of LV hypertrophy, as well as on long-term survival. 2 The relative risk of mortality is significantly higher in patients with a compromised ventricle, so avoidance of PPM is the key to improved survival. 2 1 7 1.

Avoiding PPM With diligent case planning, PPM can be not only be predicted, it can be avoided. 1 Avoidance of PPM at the time of implant may provide the following acute and long-term benefits: A larger EOA allows for less workload on the ventricle, improving LV mass regression and survival. 1 A larger EOA with lower gradients provides immediate relief from AS symptoms. Almost all bioprosthetic valves will show signs of calcification with time, therefore, a larger EOA may provide a longer time until the patient becomes symptomatic from stenosis. 2 A larger EOA provides improved flow, less resistance, and better long-term durability. 3 1 8 1.

Conclusions Hemodynamics (EOA and Pressure gradient) are one of the most important parameters when considering TAVI in failed bio-prosthetic valves Supra annular design decouples the TAVI leaflets from the failed bio-prosthesis and thus presents with lower pressure gradients specifically for small bio-prosthetic valves Possible impact of elevated gradients on valve durability should be examined in long-term.
