Abstract

Coronary obstruction during transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a potentially life-threatening complication. Most of the widely used transcatheter heart valves require a certain distance between the basal aortic annular plane and the origins of the coronary arteries. We report the case of a successful valve-in-valve procedure with an Edwards SAPIEN XT valve into a JenaValve as a bail-out procedure in a patient with a low originating left coronary artery and a heavily calcified aorta.
