  • Title: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
    Author: Perlman GY, Blanke P, Webb JG.
    Journal: EuroIntervention; 2016 Sep 18; 12(Y):Y42-5. PubMed ID: 27640030.
    Abstract:
    Bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) is not rare in patients treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Bicuspid valves have unique anatomy which could affect the results of TAVI; however, multiple recent reports have shown that TAVI is safe and effective in this population. Paravalvular aortic regurgitation was initially found to be more frequent in bicuspid patients, but newer-generation devices have shown superior results in this respect. Higher rates of pacemaker implantation after TAVI in bicuspid AS do require further investigation. Current data suggest that bicuspid valves should not be a contraindication for TAVI, but future specific trials are needed to support this assertion.
