Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a new method for the treatment of very-high-risk patients with aortic valve stenosis. Particularly in patients who have had previous cardiac surgery, the operative risk can be reduced. Nevertheless, this new procedure has some potential risks in these patients, due to the increased danger of endocarditis and in view of potential graft damage after previous bypass grafting or prosthesis damage after previous valve replacement, caused by wire manipulation or valve liberation.
