cord-275913-85u6v3ib	Bauernschmitt, Robert	Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a young patient with a suspected COVID-19 infection: a surgical dilemma in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic	2020-06-08		.txt	text/plain	1076	55	43	On admission, the patient underwent a computed tomography scan which demonstrated interstitial infiltration in the left lung, highly suspicious for a COVID-19 infection that could not be confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing. We decided to perform transcatheter aortic valve replacement to avoid cardiopulmonary bypass with shorter operative times, presumably shorter ventilation times and duration of intensive care unit stay, and thus a lesser risk for pulmonary complications. Following discussion in the local heart team and with the consent of the patient, we decided to perform valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to prevent the potential complications of a prolonged reroot-replacement with its long operative and cardiopulmonary bypass times, which could lead to an increased time on the respirator in the ICU.
