welcomes you to the new, improved website!This single institution retrospective study evaluated outcomes of valve replacement for degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valves comparing surgical AVR (SAVR) to transcatheter valve-in-valve procedures (TViV). Patients were matched into 2 groups of 22 according to STS risk scores. Operative mortality, stroke rate, and 3-year survival were similar between the groups.
