Bilateral Iatrogenic Coronary Obstruction Risk Nullification (BICORN) is a novel technique for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This method modifies existing leaflets to reduce risks in high-risk patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a common procedure for aortic stenosis.
- Valve-in-valve TAVR is used when a previously implanted TAVR device needs replacement.
- Coronary obstruction is a potential complication during valve-in-valve TAVR.
