We present the case of a young man with a prior homograft root replacement and a subsequent transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve, who presented with a root pseudoaneurysm and severe aortic regurgitation due to valve degeneration from endocarditis. The surgical procedure involved the explant of transcatheter aortic valve implantation prosthesis using a snare technique, removal of the homograft and a subannular Bentall procedure. This case illustrates the technical challenges and the "lifetime management" strategy required for complex redo aortic interventions in younger patients.

Abstract
We present the case of a young man with a prior homograft root replacement and a subsequent transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve, who presented with a root pseudoaneurysm and severe aortic regurgitation due to valve degeneration from endocarditis. The surgical procedure involved the explant of transcatheter aortic valve implantation prosthesis using a snare technique, removal of the homograft and a subannular Bentall procedure. This case illustrates the technical challenges and the "lifetime management" strategy required for complex redo aortic interventions in younger patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
