Transcatheter Valve-In-Valve Versus Redo Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for the Treatment of Degenerated Aortic Bioprostheses: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
FY 2017-18
Summary
Patients with aortic stenosis (a narrowing of one of the main heart valves) typically undergo open heart surgery for replacement of their native valve. However, in patients that undergo this procedure, their new valve can fail with time. The traditional treatment of patients with a failed replacement valve is a second open heart surgery. This carries a higher risk compared to the first operation. However, new minimally invasive techniques have been developed whereby a new valve can be placed into the damaged valve by accessing blood vessels in the groin. The safety and effectiveness of this strategy remain unknown. In our study, we reviewed the global scientific literature and analyzed results from multiple studies to show that this new minimally invasive approach is comparable in safety to reoperative open heart surgery and may be potentially beneficial to higher surgical risk patients.

Abstract
Patients with aortic stenosis (a narrowing of one of the main heart valves) typically undergo open heart surgery for replacement of their native valve. However, in patients that undergo this procedure, their new valve can fail with time. The traditional treatment of patients with a failed replacement valve is a second open heart surgery. This carries a higher risk compared to the first operation. However, new minimally invasive techniques have been developed whereby a new valve can be placed into the damaged valve by accessing blood vessels in the groin. The safety and effectiveness of this strategy remain unknown. In our study, we reviewed the global scientific literature and analyzed results from multiple studies to show that this new minimally invasive approach is comparable in safety to reoperative open heart surgery and may be potentially beneficial to higher surgical risk patients.
