How to treat pure aortic regurgitation or LVOT calcifications with TAVI
Procedural Analyst:
S. Bleiziffer
Summary
Watch a LIVE case followed by a recorded case on aortic regurgitation:
- An 86-year-old male with a history of stroke and prostate cancer presenting acute heart failure due to severe pure aortic regurgitation and LV dysfunction (EF 39%). A 27 mm JenaValve Trilogy prosthesis was implanted without predilatation, using TEE under stimulation (130 bpm).
- A 90-year-old female with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, preserved LV function, and LVOT calcifications. A 25 mm Navitor valve was implanted following predilatation with a Z-Med balloon (18 mm) under pacing (120 bpm).
