registry data have reported a 6% rate of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) at 30 days,6 which is similar to that reported in the PARTNER 2 trial (6%) but higher than in the PARTNER 3 trial (,1% stroke at 30 days).
PLANNING
Pre-TAVR CT allows assessment of carotid size, anatomy, calcification, and stenosis. A minimal common carotid diameter of 7 mm is required, with less than 50% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery.
6
Cerebral magnetic resonance angiography is often performed because an occluded contralateral
carotid artery and stenotic or occluded vertebral arteries are contraindications to a transcarotid approach. Anatomic variants, including bovine arch and prior ipsilateral carotid intervention, are currently considered contraindications, but this may change depending on individual anatomy and with increasing experience of the technique.

TECHNIQUE
Access may be through the right or left common carotid. The left may provide superior alignment. A pigtail catheter is inserted through the radial or femoral artery, as for a transfemoral approach. During intervention, cerebral function should be monitored with continuous electroencephalography. A small incision is made over the left clavicle and blunt dissection performed to expose the common carotid. The vagus nerve is identified and retracted. Heparin is administered to maintain an ACT of 250 to 300 seconds. Vascular clamps are placed while a 6F sheath is inserted into the common carotid using the standard Seldinger technique (Fig. 11.11). Crossing of the valve is performed using a straight­tipped wire and AL1 and then exchanged for a stiff wire with ventricular curve. The delivery sheath is then inserted over the stiff wire and advanced into the ascending aorta under fluoroscopic guidance. The valve is then deployed using the steps described in the transfemoral chapter. After valve deploy­ment, the delivery system is removed from the sheath. Before sheath removal, vascular clamps are placed to minimize blood loss and the carotid incision is repaired using 6-0 Prolene sutures (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) (Fig. 11.12). The pigtail is used for completion angiography to demonstrate carotid artery patency; intraoperative duplex ultrasound will allow additional assessment.
APPROACH-SPECIFIC SURGICAL PITFALLS AND COMPLICATIONS
Bleeding and stroke are the major concerns after transcarotid intervention; however, registry data have suggested similar stroke rates to the PARTNER 2 cohort. access site is possible, and angiography and/or duplex ultrasonography of the great vessels is recommended after vessel repair to ensure patency.

mortality was 8% in a patient population with an STS score of 10%. The main advantage is that it offers a percutaneous access option for patients who may not have other access options. Other advantages include similar catheterization laboratory setup as used for traditional transfemoral TAVR and the ease of recovery because this a truly percutaneous option. The main disadvantage is the complexity of the procedure, which has a steep learning curve.
Contraindications include a porcelain abdominal aorta without a suitable calcium-free target

operation. Other contraindications include severe celiac or superior mesenteric artery obstruction such that covered stent occlusion of the inferior mesenteric arteries would result in bowel isch­emia and severe peripheral vascular disease that would prevent delivery of covered stents through arterial access if required.
PLANNING
The abdominal aorta is assessed on TAVR CT to identify a suitable calcium-free location for passage from the inferior vena cava (IVC) into the aorta. A detailed description of CT analysis is outlined by Lederman et al.
8
The calcium-free window should be larger than the outer diam­eter of the sheath in at least one dimension. In addition to being a sufficient calcium-free win­dow, the site chosen should be away from the bowel and with sufficient distance from the branch vessels of the aorta and IVC to allow placement of a covered stent if needed due to bleeding. CT analysis allows guidance of puncture location relative to the radiopaque landmarks such as the lumbar vertebrae and iliac crests and selection of a working angle for the transcaval crossing maneuver (Fig. 11.13).
If present, areas of aortic atheroma or chronic dissection should be avoided. However, aortic
ectasia and focal aneurysm are not contraindications.
TECHNIQUE
Venous and arterial access is obtained, ideally with a 6F sheath in the femoral artery and two venous sheaths (one for temporary pacing). The valve is always delivered through the right femoral vein. A marker pigtail is placed in the abdominal aorta and IVC and simultaneous con­trast injection performed, often under digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
A single-loop gooseneck snare is inserted into the abdominal aorta, distal to the target puncture site (Fig. 11.14B and C). Heparin is administered to maintain an ACT of 250 to 300 seconds. A 7F short IMA or renal curve guide catheter is placed in the femoral vein, and a braided 0.0350 microcatheter with a stiff coronary wire (e.g., Confienza Pro 12 with amputated tip, or Astato wire Asahi Abbott, Santa Clara, CA) within a piggyback (Vascular Solutions, Minneapolis, MN)
0.0140 wire converter (Fig. 11.15) is advanced through the guide catheter (see Fig. 11.14D). The wire is advanced through the wall of the IVC into the aorta under fluoroscopic guidance, using the loop snare for orientation. The use of biplane fluoroscopy is advantageous. The wire is briefly electrified to puncture through the IVC and aorta and then snared. The snare and guidewire are advanced in tandem into the thoracic aorta. The microcatheter is then advanced over the wire into

the sheath is in position, TAVR can be performed as described in the transfemoral chapters. The femoral temporary pacing wire is best placed after crossing the IVC into the aorta to avoid dis­lodgement. After successful valve implantation and removal of the introducer sheath, protamine is administered and the arteriovenous fistula is closed with nitinol closure devices such as the Amplatzer Duct Occluder or Amplatzer Ventricular Septal Defect Occluder (St. Jude Medical) (see Fig. 11.14E).
Completion aortogram of the abdominal aorta should be performed (see Fig. 11.14F). This
commonly shows a small residual fistula, which is typically fully occluded on CT at 1 year.

APPROACH-SPECIFIC SURGICAL PITFALLS AND COMPLICATIONS
Procedural outcomes in initial series appeared encouraging, with 30-day survival of 92%. Vascular complications are the major risk, occurring in 13% of cases in early series. closure device may not seal the iatrogenic fistula and a covered stent should be kept on standby if needed for bailout. Covered stents were required in up to 20% of cases in early series but are rarely needed in contemporary practice. Twenty-five percent of patients had a retroperitoneal hematoma on predischarge CT scan due to an expected small amount of extravasation during closure of the aortocaval access.

Conclusions
Patients who require alternative access sites are more complex with a greater prevalence of comor­bidities than patients who undergo transfemoral TAVR. Choice of access site is based on institu­tional and operator experience. The majority of patients are able to undergo successful TAVR through one of these access sites. Preprocedural planning is key for a successful procedure.
Summary and Take-Home Points
n
Patients who require alternative access sites generally harbor a higher risk profile than
transfemoral TAVR patients.
n
Due to a lack of randomized data, there is no preferred alternative approach, and choice of
access will be dependent on the patient’s anatomy, valve type, surgeon, and institutional experience.
n
Regardless of access type, developing and following a standardized safety checklist before
starting contributes to a safe and successful procedure.

Aortic Valve-in-Valve TAVR
Elad Maor Israel M. Barbash
Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve (VIV) is an established treatment of degenerative surgical bioprostheses in patients at high operative risk and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2015. The aortic VIV procedure is not currently approved to treat para­prosthetic valve regurgitation or failed/degenerated transcatheter heart valves (THVs), and it is contraindicated in patients with infective endocarditis.
Indications
Although there are no randomized clinical trials specifically addressing this treatment and the long-term durability of this treatment remains to be determined, the American Heart Association/ American College of Cardiologists (AHA/ACC) guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease give it a class IIa indication (level of evidence B) based on nonrandomized data, including registries and case series. tional Data and PARTNER II valve-in-valve registry) show that the most common indication for the procedure was valve stenosis in 30% to 50% of patients followed by pure valve regurgitation in 20% to 30%, and combined valve failure in the remaining patients. Reported 30-day mortality is up to 8%, stroke rate is up to 3%, and the 1-year survival rate is similar in both registries at 83% to 88%, respectively.

Specific Considerations for Valve-in-Valve TAVR
When approaching transcatheter aortic VIV implantation, all the concepts that were described earlier in this book hold. This includes the building blocks of structural interventions, TAVR patient selection, and procedural planning. However, when planning an aortic VIV procedure, two major pitfalls that are unique for this procedure must be considered. First, therapy of small surgical valves should be approached with caution, as patient prosthesis mismatch (PPM) and significant residual gradients remain a major challenge, with 28% of patients having a residual aortic gradient of 20 mmHg or more. Second, when the indication for the procedure is valvular regurgitation, every effort should be taken to rule out aortic paravalvular leak because VIV im­plantation is not expected to improve hemodynamics in this case.
In addition to careful patient selection and procedural planning, the VIV procedure itself has particular operator-associated aspects that are different compared with standard TAVR. On the one hand, the surgical heart valve provides a perfect circular annulus to allow even expansion of the transcatheter valve. It is also a suitable anchor for fixation and can partially protect from complications such as annular rupture or complete atrioventricular (AV) block. On the other hand, operators must be aware of the critical importance of precise valve positioning and the risk of coronary obstruction.
Procedural Planning
MECHANISM OF BIOPROSTHESIS FAILURE
Transcatheter aortic VIV is less likely to improve patient outcome in cases of PPM or paravalvu­lar regurgitation. These entities are not uncommon, and every effort should be made to rule them out early during procedural planning. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary imaging modality for the assessment of bioprosthetic valves. Comprehensive imaging should include valve prosthesis components, antegrade velocity, mean gradient, aortic valve effective orifice area, and evaluation of any transvalvular or paravalvular regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) should be strongly considered when paravalvular leak is suspected or when transthoracic imaging is suboptimal.
Bioprostheses are prone to structural valve degeneration, which can present as either leaflet calcification, resulting in stenosis, or leaflet flail or tear, resulting in regurgitation. Early degen­eration is associated with several risk factors, including young patient age, renal disease, and PPM of the originally implanted valve. When valve degeneration is suspected, careful echocardiogra­phy is mandatory, and four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) should also be consid­ered to understand the mechanism of valve degeneration and to confirm the need for reinterven­tion. Although not used routinely in clinical practice, 4DCT is particularly helpful for the detection of valve thrombosis and pannus formation.
Every effort should be made to distinguish PPM from valve degeneration. PPM is likely when, despite a relatively small valve area and elevated gradients, leaflet morphology is normal. When available, careful evaluation of echocardiographic studies at the time of original valve implantation is necessary, because PPM is associated with abnormal valve hemodynamics at the time of prosthesis implantation. plantation should be considered when there is an increase in transvalvular gradients over time with concomitant decrease in valve area.

TRUE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE SURGICAL VALVE
The next step after confirming the need for VIV implantation is to understand the true in­ternal diameter (ID) of the aortic bioprosthesis. Valve size labeling is not standardized and

varies between different manufacturers. Valve labeling may refer to ID, outer diameter, or
external diameter (Fig. 12.1). Different bioprostheses with the same label size can have dif-
ferent IDs and external sewing ring diameters. The stent labeled ID is a measurement of the
stent frame without leaflets. Leaflet type and mounting inside or outside the stent frame
influence the true ID. The exact ID of the bioprosthesis is the critical information needed
for VIV implantation and can easily be obtained from the VIV application.
is free and includes design and sizing information for multiple types of surgical valves, as well
as fluoroscopic images of all surgical valves. Examples of several commonly used surgical
valves are shown in Figs. 12.2 and 12.5.
SELECTION OF TRANSCATHETER VALVE TYPE AND SIZE
Residual stenosis (,20 mmHg) is not uncommon after aortic VIV procedures, and is reported
among 28% of patients. Larger surgical valve size, supra-annular THV type, and higher trans-
catheter implantation depth can all reduce postprocedural gradients. Therefore proper selec-
tion of transcatheter valve type and size is critical. There are two main transcatheter valve
designs: intra-annular valves, where the leaflets are built at the level of the annulus; and supra-
annular valves, where the leaflets are above the annulus. Commercially, SAPIEN 3 (Edwards
Lifesciences), Evolut R (Medtronic), and PORTICO (St. Jude Medical) are the most com-
monly available valves, with the first being an intra-annular valve, whereas the other two are
supra-annular.
