Because technology for valvular replacement continues to evolve, we expect it to be further reaching in the applications for intermediate- to high-risk surgical candidates. Although the patient population for transcatheter aortic valve replacement has widened, it is still extremely rare in the pregnant patient. We report a case of a transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation in the second trimester of pregnancy. The patient experienced an excellent outcome after comprehensive coordination across multiple services. We discuss anesthetic considerations in the care of the pregnant patient for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
