Transcatheter Correction of Aortic-Right Ventricular Shunt Following Aortic Valve Replacement: A Case Report

We describe the first case in the literature of transcatheter correction of aortic-right ventricular (Ao-RV) shunt after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with an Intuity® prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences). A 79-year-old patient with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic regurgitation underwent AVR using a rapid-release 25-mm Intuity® prosthesis. After 45 days, he presented with severe heart failure, and an Ao-RV shunt was identified on transthoracic echocardiography. Given his history of previous cardiac surgeries, percutaneous correction was attempted. Initially, [...]
