Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for pure aortic regurgitation (PAR) in patients with enlarged left ventricular outflow tracts (LVOT) is challenging. The novel NCPI-plus technique offers a feasible solution for stable valve anchoring.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment option for aortic valve disease.
- Pure aortic regurgitation (PAR) with an enlarged left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) presents unique challenges for TAVR due to anchoring difficulties.
