aortic valve-in-valve in a patient with infective endocarditis after covid-19 infection: a case report

Few cases of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) following infective endocarditis (ie) have been reported. in this presentation, we discuss the feasibility of tavi in a degenerated bioprosthetic valve affected by ie.we examine a rare case involving an elderly man with a degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valve complicated by ie 6 months after a covid-19 infection. the patient was successfully treated with valve-in-valve intervention following antibiotic therapy for the acute phase of the infection. this resulted in excellent outcomes with no complications in the early postprocedural period and during follow-up visits.for patients with a destructed bioprosthetic aortic valve due to ie and residual dysfunction after healing, valve-in-valve intervention can be a safe and effective treatment option, particularly for those at high risk for surgery.
