Balloon valvuloplasty treatment of an infolded CoreValve

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an approved treatment for select patients with severe aortic stenosis. A rare complication of self‐expanding transcatheter heart valves (THVs) is infolding of the valve stent frame, which results in a malopposed segment, perivalvular aortic insufficiency, and possibly leaflet dysfunction. We report here a successful case of balloon valvuloplasty treatment for severe infolding of a self‐expandable THV in the aortic position, restoring stent frame geometry and leaflet function. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
