Simulations of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation – Implications for Aortic Root Rupture

摘要

ObjectivesAortic root rupture is one of the most severe complications of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The mechanism of this adverse event remains mostly unknown. The purpose of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the biomechanical interaction between the tissue and stent for patients with a high risk of aortic rupture.
