Summary

Discover two clinical cases of optimising TAVI procedure in bicuspid aortic valve patients, taking into account the current sizing options in such anatomy.

  • An 84-year-old woman with a history of LAD PCI in 2020, presented a symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and grade 3 regurgitation with a preserved LV function. The CT showed a bicuspid anatomy type 1 LR. The operators implanted an Evolut pro 26 mm, with a pre (20 mm) band post dilatation (23 mm) under sentinel protection.
  • An 82-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, presented a symptomatic severe aortic stenosis on a large bicuspid anatomy type 1 LR. The operators implant a myvalve 32 after a pre-dilatation with a small balloon.
