We describe 2 cases in which transcatheter aortic valve implantation was performed with a Portico prosthesis (St Jude Medical, St Paul, MN) through a direct aortic approach. In 1 of the cases, prosthesis retrieval was needed during the procedure and was essential to the successful outcome. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of direct aortic Portico prosthesis implantation, and it highlights the significance of the retrievable nature of this device.
我们描述了 2 例通过直接主动脉入路进行经导管主动脉瓣植入术(Portico 瓣膜,美敦力公司,明尼苏达州圣保罗)的病例。其中 1 例在手术过程中需要取出瓣膜,这对手术的成功至关重要。据我们所知,这是首例直接主动脉 Portico 瓣膜植入的报道,强调了该装置可回收特性的重要性。
