Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with planned leaflet positioning achieved a good procedural outcome in a patient with severe non-calcified aortic regurgitation and a narrow aortic root.

TAVI using a Medtronic CoreValve prosthesis may be feasible in patients with severe, non-calcified aortic regurgitation and a narrow aortic root by planning leaflet positioning to avoid coronary obstruction.
Dumonteil et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Severe, non-calcified aortic regurgitation (n=1). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (Medtronic CoreValve) was evaluated on Procedural outcome. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with planned leaflet positioning achieved a good procedural outcome in a patient with severe non-calcified aortic regurgitation and a narrow aortic root.
