ABSTRACT

Os relatos de implante de valve-in-valve no Brasil são escassos, mas têm aumentado de frequência nos países desenvolvidos. Relata-se o caso de paciente feminina, 73 anos, que se submeteu a implante transcutâneo de prótese aórtica valve-in-valve há quatro anos. A paciente havia implantado bioprótese aórtica por cirurgia há 24 anos, evoluindo com degeneração da prótese, tendo recusado a troca valvar por nova cirurgia aberta. Após avaliação de equipe multidisciplinar foi indicado o implante transcutâneo de prótese aórtica valve-in-valve. Após quatro anos, a paciente apresentou melhora da classe funcional de insuficiência cardíaca e a durabilidade da prótese tem sido satisfatória.


Although valve-in-valve implantation reports are still sparse in Brazil, they are becoming more frequent in the developed countries. This case report addresses a 73-year-old female patient who underwent a transcutaneous aortic valve-in-valve prosthesis implant four years ago, subsequent to an aortic bioprosthesis implant operation 24 years earlier that degenerated, with the patient refusing to replace the valve through a further open surgery. After evaluation, a multidisciplinary team recommended a transcutaneous aortic valve-in-valve prosthesis implant. Four years later, the functional class of her heart failure has improved and the durability of the prosthesis has been satisfactory.
