Contrary to Expectations: Off-Label Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the Case of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

We present the case of a 71-year-old woman who showed recurrent signs of congestive heart failure with the need of rehospitalization after double valve (mitral and aortic) replacement. Extensive diagnostic workup revealed a moderate aortic stenosis and additionally a significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The tissue overgrowth might be attributed to an inflammatory reaction with extensive pannus deposit after aortic valve surgery. With no-option for re-do surgery we performed the first-in-man off-label valve-in-left ventricular outflow tract procedure with an Edwards Sapien III 23 mm in deep orientation.
