Single Centre Experience With the Balloon‐Expandable Myval Transcatheter Aortic Valve System in Patients With Bicuspid Anatomy: 1 Year Follow‐Up

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy remains challenging due to anatomical complexity and limited trial data. New‐generation balloon‐expandable valves, such as Myval, require further evaluation in this subgroup.
