Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient with isolated aortic regurgitation using JenaValve.

Abstract

This case report details the successful use of JenaValve for transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a male patient in his early 50s with severe aortic regurgitation. The patient had multiple comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease and heart failure, increasing the risk of surgical intervention. JenaValve, a second-generation device with unique positioning and anchoring mechanisms, was deployed successfully, resulting in immediate improvements in cardiac function without significant regurgitation or paravalvular leakage. This case highlights the potential of transcatheter aortic valve implantation as a viable alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic regurgitation, emphasizing the importance of technological advancements and a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cardiovascular cases. Long-term follow-up is essential to assess the durability of the implanted valve and the patient's overall prognosis.
