Abstract

Coronary obstruction is a feared complication associated with valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) that may prevent patients with high anatomical risk from being considered. Aortic root replacement at the time of the index TAVR allows higher coronary implantation and augmentation of transcatheter heart valve to coronary ostial distance. This approach permits future valve-in-valve TAVR and may be an important strategy in lifetime valve selection management, particularly in young patients.
