Two birds with one stone: transcatheter valve-in-valve treatment of a failed surgical bioprosthesis with concomitant severe stenosis and paravalvular leak

We present a case of a patient with a degenerated previous implanted biological valve and paravalvular leak. We used the treatment strategy of valve-in-valve with post-dilatation with high-pressure balloon, in a way to treat both, the degenerated valve and the paravalvular leak. The use of a single percutaneous procedure was enough and safe to treat both problems without further complications.Graphic abstract
