Event Description

Literature was reviewed regarding a technical and clinical review of current prostheses used for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr).In figure 4, the authors presented an image and text concerning a surgically explanted self-expanding valve that appears to be a medtronic valve type (corevalve, evolut r, evolut pro, or evolut pro+).It was stated that the self-expanding valve showed structural valve deterioration in form of a commissural leaflet tear which led to severe transvalvular regurgitation, while pannus ingrowth was noted on the aortic side of the valve.The valve was explanted approximately 24 months after implantation.No further details were disclosed about this case.
