Percutaneous aortic valve replacement: computed tomography scan after valved stent implantation in human cadaver hearts.

摘要

Computed tomography scans were performed before and after aortic valve resection with consecutive implantation of a valved stent in human hearts with highly calcified aortic valves in situ (n=2). This demonstrates that the valved stent shows better fitting in the annulus after removal of the native valve.
