Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is being routinely done in various centres for aortic stenosis due to tricuspid aortic valves. The number of TAVR procedures are increasing, but the data on bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) is scanty. BAV is commonest abnormality in general population and can progress to severe
