Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in unicuspid aortic valve stenosis

Subasit Acharji et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) offers unique challenges to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), due to asymmetric expansion and apposition of the prosthesis during implantation. Although TAVR in bicuspid is now a well described experience, TAVR in unicuspid valve has not yet been described. A challenging case is described with TAVR in UAV using a Edwards Sapiens prosthesis via transapical approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Keywords: aortic valve disease; percutaneous intervention; structural heart; transapical; transcatheter valve implantation.
