Why the study?
Does the two-step inflation technique improve valve placement towards optimal implantation depth during transcatheter aortic balloon-expandable valve deployment?
Does the two-step inflation technique improve valve placement towards optimal implantation depth during transcatheter aortic balloon-expandable valve deployment?
The two-step inflation technique optimizes implantation depth during transcatheter aortic balloon-expandable valve deployment, potentially preventing adverse events related to malpositioning.
Should not yet change TAVR deployment practice; leaves open whether two-step inflation reduces malposition events in prospective trials.
The two-step inflation technique improves valve placement towards optimal implantation depth and may thereby prevent adverse events due to malpositioning.
