A crown cna23 was implanted on (b)(6) 2015, and concomitant cabgx3 was performed.The mean gradient at discharge and at follow up on (b)(6) 2017 were 10 mmhg and 13.7 mmhg, respectively.The patient was admitted to the hospital in (b)(6) 2018 with decompensated heart failure requiring iv diuresis and inotropes.Echocardiography on (b)(6) 2018 showed a mean gradient of 27 mmhg with moderate ar.The valve was well seated with calcified cusps and reduced excursion.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient underwent urgent tavi due to structural valve deterioration.
