Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient with mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair.

UNLABELLED: Aortic valve stenosis occurs in about 3% of people over 65. It is the most important heart valve disease in developed countries. Pathogenesis includes processes similar to those in atherosclerosis, including lipid accumulation, inflammation and calcification.

A CASE REPORT: In this study, we describe the case transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a 73-year-old patient after mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair 15 years ago.

CONCLUSIONS

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an effective method of surgical treatment of elderly patients with aortic stenosis with a high risk of mortality in traditional surgical correction of defects. This type of treatment can be widely used in repeated interventions, where there is an adhesion process, technical complexity and a significant risk of complications. This method of treatment minimizes side effects and shortens the patient's rehabilitation period.
