The bicuspid aortic valve: Still a toothy problem

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2020 May 1;95(6):1193-1194. doi: 10.1002/ccd.28921.

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an acceptable treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in selected patients with a bicuspid aortic valve. TAVR appears to have acceptable mid-term outcomes in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis. A large-scale, randomized, clinical trial is necessary to better define the role of TAVR for patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis.
