First-in-man Valve-in-Valve with the new balloon-expandable Myval transcatheter heart valve in a failed sutureless Perceval bioprosthesis

Sutureless aortic bioprostheses were introduced more than ten years ago, with the aim of decreasing cross-clamp time and thus becoming the first choice in older patients for many surgeons. However, published data are limited to a 5-year follow-up, and some cases of deterioration have already been described. High-risk patients who once have benefitted from a fast sutureless aortic replacement and now are experiencing a prosthesis dysfunction, could take advantage of a percutaneous Valve-in-Sutureless technique. Furthermore, thanks to technological improvement, new transcatheter prostheses have been designed, allowing a more precise positioning. In this report, we described the first Myval-in-Perceval case, which resulted in a safe and effective procedure.
