Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for the treatment of congenital heart disease has been mostly limited to patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. We present a case of a 19-year-old Jehovah’s Witness patient with D-transposition of the great arteries who underwent arterial switch operation followed by a valve-sparing aortic root repair with a hemashield graft who later developed severe aortic valve regurgitation and successfully underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the Edwards Sapien-3 valve.
