Transoesophageal echocardiography-guided ‘primary’ valve-in-valve technique in cardiogenic shock: a case report

摘要

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation inside a previously implanted bioprosthesis is an alternative treatment for patients with degenerated surgical aortic bioprosthesis (AB) at high surgical risk. Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan provides essential information to the procedure planning, although in case of acute presentation it is not always feasible.
