Timing of bioprosthetic valve fracture in transcatheter valve-in-valve intervention: impact on valve durability and leaflet integrity

Reported from TCT 2022

Mirvat Alasnag interviews David Meier about his TCT2022 poster presentation which was simultaneously published in the EuroIntervention Journal: Timing of Bioprosthetic valve fracture in transcatheter valve-in-valve intervention: impact on valve durability and leaflet integrity. EuroIntervention, Meier et al. DOI: 10.4244/EIJ-D-22-00644

Results show that bioprosthetic valve fracture performed after VIV appears to offer superior long-term effective orifice area without increased regurgitant fraction.
