  • Title: Expanding role for transcatheter aortic valve replacement: successful transfemoral implantation of a Medtronic CoreValve for severe aortic regurgitation.
    Author: Yeow WL, Roberts-Thomson P, Shetty S, Yong G.
    Journal: Heart Lung Circ; 2012 Nov; 21(11):754-8. PubMed ID: 22542043.
    Abstract:
    Severe aortic regurgitation (AR), when intervention is required, is best managed by surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic stenosis has recently shown non-inferiority to SAVR and superiority to medical management. Here we describe a successful TAVR for a patient with severe AR that was unsuitable for SAVR due to her high surgical risk.
