The abstract "experience with valve in valve for externally wrapped bioprosthetic valve dysfunction" was reviewed.The article presented a case study of a 75-year-old male who underwent aortic valve replacement (avr) 7 years ago, using a 21mm trifecta valve.It was reported that the patient was re-admitted due to severe aortic regurgitation.Avr surgery was recommended, but re-operation was refused.A transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) procedure was performed, using a non-abbott device via transfemoral approach.Trifecta was sewn diagonally to the aortic annulus, making it difficult to implant the tavi valve coaxially.Finally, tavi was successful due to acceptable para-valvular leak, and the patient was discharged on post-operative day 5.No additional information was provided.[the primary author was hiroshi onoda, toyama university hospital, toyama, japan].
