In the last years, the use of sutureless devices in frail patients with severe aortic stenosis has increased thanks to their "easier and faster" technique of implantation in comparison to conventional surgery. Results from metanalysis show comparable outcomes in comparison to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in terms of mortality, stroke incidence, and rate of pace-maker implantation. The incidence of para-valvular leak (PVL) is even lower for sutureless devices than for TAVR. The few cases described are generally due to incomplete decalcification or incorrect valve sizing and consequent stent distortion. To our knowledge this is the first case describing PVL with massive aortic regurgitation due to early partial embolization of a Perceval valve and its successfully treatment with valve-in-valve by using a self-expanding TAVR device.
在过去几年中,由于无缝线装置在严重主动脉瓣狭窄的脆弱患者中的“更简单、更快速”的植入技术,与传统手术相比,其使用有所增加。荟萃分析的结果表明,在死亡率、中风发生率和起搏器植入率方面,与经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)相比,无缝线装置具有可比的结果。与 TAVR 相比,无缝线装置的瓣周漏(PVL)发生率甚至更低。描述的少数病例通常是由于不完全去钙化或瓣膜尺寸不正确以及随后的支架变形所致。据我们所知,这是首例因 Perceval 瓣膜早期部分栓塞及其成功治疗而导致大量主动脉瓣反流的 PVL 病例,使用自扩张 TAVR 装置进行瓣中瓣治疗。
