Unusual rapid progression of TAVI valve degeneration confirmed by PET-CT scan treated with Valve in Valve procedure followed by early valve thrombosis

Abstract

Percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS) [1]. However, the major limitation of TAVI remains the phenomenon of valve degeneration and thrombosis, which may affect long-term outcomes [2-4].
