Abstract

Key Points: Particularly in a higher risk population, transcatheter aortic valve in valve replacement is a suitable alternative to repeat surgical valve replacement—with possibly better short term outcomes. Challenges remain: Valve‐in‐valve TAVR may require a second valve placement and has more residual valve leak than surgery. Long‐term clinical outcomes comparing transcatheter and surgical replacements for degraded stentless aortic valves are still needed.
