Outcomes after Endovascular Arch Repair in Patients with a Mechanical Aortic Valve: Results from a Multicentre Study
Endovascular aortic arch repair in a selected group of patients with a mechanical aortic valve, treated in experienced high volume aortic centres, seems technically feasible and reasonably safe. These preliminary results underline the complexity of the procedure and should be validated by larger cohort studies. With careful patient selection and adequate physician experience, the presence of a mechanical aortic valve could potentially no longer pose a major contraindication to endovascular arch repair in the future.
