Distal aortic biomechanics after transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement: a hypothesis generating study

Abstract Background Biomechanical effects of transcatheter (TAVR) versus surgical (SAVR) aortic valve interventions on the distal aorta have not been studied. This study utilized global circumferential strain (GCS) to assess post-procedural biomechanics changes in the descending aorta after TAVR ver...
