Bicuspid Aortic Valve Leaflet Modification Before Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Puntos clave

Leaflet modification enhances transcatheter heart valve expansion and circularity, improving fit.
The technique was evaluated in a proof-of-concept study to assess its efficacy before TAVR.

PICO estructurado

Does pre-TAVR bicuspid aortic valve leaflet modification improve transcatheter heart valve expansion and circularity in patients undergoing TAVR?
