Abstract
Transcatheter ViV procedures can be performed safely in degenerated Mitroflow and Trifecta prostheses, if the anatomy of the aortic root is taken into consideration. Precise preoperative image-based decision making is mandatory. The Engager prosthesis may allow for ViV procedures even in patients with smaller aortic roots.
