Clinical evaluation demonstrates pre-procedure virtual reality simulation for paravalvular leak prediction in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, highlighting novel imaging tools for surgical planning.
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) in bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) is associated with an increased risk of paravalvular leak (PVL) after a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be an effective tool in surgical training, but its utility in clinical practice has not been studied. Here we present the first study to evaluate the use of VR simulation in pre-procedure planning and prediction of PVL in TAVR in patients with severe BAV AS.
