Summary

Explore two fascinating cases tackling severe aortic valve challenges with innovative approaches:

  • LIVE Case: An 84-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer and TAVI (Evolut Pro 29) in 2016, presenting with symptomatic severe TAVI stenosis. CT revealed a true ID of 19 mm. The team implanted a Sapien 3 (23 mm) after predilatation with a 22 mm balloon, employing cerebral and RCA protection. RCA patency was confirmed using angiography and IVUS.
  • Recorded Case: A 72-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis, a small annulus (21 mm), and preserved LV function (60%) underwent surgical aortic root enlargement, expanding the annulus to accommodate a Medtronic Ultra valve (29 mm).
