Fusion Imaging Guidance for Coronary Reaccess After Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Abstract

Coronary reaccess can be difficult after valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We present a case whereby prior valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement created difficulty with coronary reaccess. Computed tomography-fluoroscopy fusion imaging was used for guidance to successfully engage the coronary arteries and perform percutaneous coronary intervention.
