Abstract

Learning Objective: Perivalvular leakage (PVL) is a major problem after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In this case, we experienced PVL after implantation of self-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) inside the previously inserted Mosaic bioprosthetic valve. Depth of the implanted valve was too low into left ventricle accessed with transesophageal echocardiogram. It is barely known whether THV in surgical implanted aortic valve could be repositioned using snare maneuver, but we successfully pulled the valve via brachial artery and PVL was controlled.
