Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to assess the viability of an alternative anchoring design for a transcatheter aortic valve based on a form-fitting principle with a self-expanding nitinol frame to reduce issues related to excess radial force. METHODS: A 26-mm outer diameter prototype of a self-expanding nitinol frame was developed to reduce the amount of necessary radial force by utilizing additional anchoring via protruding arms in each aortic sinus, thus allowing for a form-fitting principle as well...     »
