How to Perform a Late Surgical Explantation of a CoreValve Aortic Bioprothesis

As transcatheter techniques expand to younger patients, cardiac surgeons need to know a safe surgical technique to extract these kinds of prostheses. We describe here an adequate surgical strategy for the explantation of a CoreValve prosthesis that was implanted more than 5 years previously.
