Frequency of Bioprosthetic Valve Fracturing Utilization in an All-Comers Valve-in-Valve TAVR Cohort

Introduction: Valve-in-valve TAVR (ViV-TAVR) is an established treatment for failing surgical aortic valves in patient at high surgical risk. Elevated transprosthetic gradients are common after ViV-TAVR. Previously, bench tests showed feasibility of bioprosthetic valve fracturing (VF) using high-pre...
