Aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair as treatment of complications after percutaneous core valve implantation.

摘要

Standard aortic valve replacement is the gold standard for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis but transcatheter procedure can be performed in selected patients with important comorbidities or absolute contraindication for standard surgical approach. Careful multidisciplinary evaluation of each single case is fundamental in order to tailor the appropriate approach for every patient.
