Correction of CoreValve position using snare traction from a right brachial artery access

Significant paravalvular aortic regurgitation is among the most important limitations of the interventional revalving techniques for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. We report on the treatment of a patient with severe paravalvular regurgitation following CoreValve implantation by prolonged s...

Description
Summary:Significant paravalvular aortic regurgitation is among the most important limitations of the interventional revalving techniques for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. We report on the treatment of a patient with severe paravalvular regurgitation following CoreValve implantation by prolonged snare traction from the right brachial artery. Snare traction resulted in upward motion of the valve with subsequent reduction of aortic regurgitation from grades III/IV to grade I.
