Hemodynamic Performances and Clinical Outcomes In Patients Undergoing Valve-in-valve Versus Native Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Valve-in-valve (ViV) trans catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) emerged has a less invasive treatment than surgery for patients with degenerated bioprosthesis. However, few data are currently available regarding results of ViV vs. TAVI in native aortic valve. We aimed to compare hemodynamic performances and 1-year outcomes between patients undergoing ViV procedure and patients undergoing non-ViV TAVI. This bicentric study included all patients undergoing aortic ViV procedure for surgical bioprosthetic aortic failure between 2013 and 2017.
