Key result
SAPIEN 3 valve overexpansion successfully treats a case of severe AS with a huge annulus.
Why the study?
The population referred for TAVR is becoming more heterogeneous and anatomically challenging, requiring novel approaches for large aortic annuli.
Case Report (n=1)
Overexpansion of a 29 mm SAPIEN 3 valve can be a successful strategy for TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis and a huge aortic annulus.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a treatment alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis. As broadened indications and increasing clinical demand, the population referred for TAVR will become much more heterogeneous and anatomically challenging. Herein, we report an 88-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis and huge aortic annulus (annular area 831.8 mm2) successfully treated with overexpansion of a 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve.

Hsiao et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Severe aortic stenosis and huge aortic annulus (n=1). Overexpansion of a 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve was evaluated on Successful treatment. Overexpansion of a 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve successfully treated an 88-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis and a huge aortic annulus.
