Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation provide similar efficacy and safety in patients with bicuspid aortic valve compared to those without?
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in selected patients with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis demonstrates similar procedural success, safety, and 30-day outcomes compared to patients with tricuspid aortic valves.
