Abstract
Yacoub operation, aimed at valve-sparing aortic root replacement, is performed to
treat aortic root aneurysm with aortic regurgitation. Here we first report a successful
transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable prosthetic valve
in an elderly patient having severe aortic valve stenosis and a small sinus of Valsalva
17 years after the Yacoub operation.
Learning objectives
In transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic valve stenosis with a
small sinus of Valsalva post-Yacoub operation, the use of a balloon-expandable prosthetic
valve may be desirable for the TAVI; a detailed analysis of the anatomy of the valve-sparing
aortic root with computed tomography is essential for the valve selection.
