Key result
Pre-operative transcatheter aortic valve replacement was successfully performed before prompt noncardiac surgery in a patient with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and a large adnexal mass.
Case Report (n=1)
Pre-operative TAVR can be a viable and useful strategy for patients with severe bicuspid aortic stenosis who require prompt noncardiac surgery.

May support TAVR before urgent noncardiac surgery in high-risk bicuspid AS; leaves open need for prospective data on techniques and outcomes.
A 65-year-old woman with a large adnexal mass was found to have severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement was chosen rather than surgical aortic valve replacement because of concerns over risks. We demonstrate the value of pre-operative transcatheter aortic valve replacement before prompt noncardiac surgery. Furthermore, it illustrates some useful bailout techniques in this challenging scenario. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)

Chauhan et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and large adnexal mass (n=1). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was evaluated. Pre-operative transcatheter aortic valve replacement was successfully performed before prompt noncardiac surgery in a patient with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and a large adnexal mass.
