Managing Multivalvular Bioprosthetic Failure and a Hidden Aortic Root–Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Fistula With a Transcatheter Approach: Balancing Risk and Intervention
Managing multiple failed bioprosthetic heart valves in high-risk patients poses challenges in the lifelong management of valvular heart disease. Transcatheter options offer a less invasive and often the only viable option in this patient cohort.1 Here, we report a case of a young patient who initially underwent surgical multivalvular replacement at the age of 33 years secondary to congenital rubella syndrome.
