Bespoke valve sizing avoids annular rupture in patients treated with a balloon‐expandable transcatheter heart valve
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Annular and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) calcification increase the risk of annular rupture following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The outcomes of a strategy of routine use of a balloon-expandable valve (BEV) for all patients irrespective of annular or LVOT calcium is unknown.
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the impact of bespoke sizing on annular rupture in patients treated with a BEV.
