In this article, the authors present the three-year results of the randomized LYTEN trial comparing balloon-expandable valves (BEV; SAPIEN 3/ULTRA) and self-expanding valves (SEV; Evolut R/PRO/PRO+) for valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in failed small surgical aortic bioprostheses (≤23 mm).

In this article, the authors present a bench-to-animal-to-human proof of concept for valve-in-mechanical (ViMech) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with failed bileaflet mechanical aortic valves. Bench testing showed disc dislodgement with balloon inflation at pressures of 2 to 4 atm, while snaring failed.
