Case Report describing Balloon Dilatation as a Treatment for
Intraprosthetic Regurgitation following implantation of a SAPIEN-3
Transcatheter Aortic Valve
Abstract
Intraprosthetic regurgitation (IR) is a rare but devastating
complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We
describe the successful treatment of moderate intraprosthetic
regurgitation in a 89 year old woman, who had been treated for severe
aortic stenosis using a 23mm SAPIEN-3 valve.
