Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) assessment is the standard for predicting coronary obstruction (CO) caused by sinus sequestration (SS) during transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) implantation in degenerated TAV (TAV-in-TAV) procedure, but it may not always be accurate. This report describes a prediction method for CO by using balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) during TAV-in-TAV.
