In high-risk patients with pure native aortic regurgitation (PNAR), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains an off-label intervention. Due to anatomical variations in the aortic root and technical challenges unique to PNAR, the transfemoral approach (TF-TAVR) requires continued accumulation of experience and technological refinement. In this context, we successfully and safely performed a snare-assisted TF-TAVR procedure for a patient with PNAR, characterized by significant aortic angulation. We introduced an innovative technique termed "snare-assisted coaxiality optimized technique" (SACOT) during valve deployment. SACOT played a crucial role in optimizing valve positioning, enhancing coaxiality, and achieving the ideal implantation depth for PNAR. Post-procedure assessments demonstrated stability and the absence of paravalvular regurgitation (PVR).
在患有单纯原发性主动脉瓣反流(PNAR)的高危患者中,经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)仍然是一种未获批准的干预措施。由于主动脉根部的解剖变异以及PNAR特有的技术挑战,经股动脉途径(TF-TAVR)需要不断积累经验并改进技术。在此背景下,我们成功且安全地为一名患有PNAR且伴有明显主动脉成角的患者实施了圈套器辅助的TF-TAVR手术。我们在瓣膜植入过程中引入了一种名为“圈套器辅助同轴度优化技术”(SACOT)的创新技术。SACOT在优化瓣膜定位、增强同轴度以及实现PNAR的理想植入深度方面发挥了关键作用。术后评估显示瓣膜稳定且无瓣周反流(PVR)。
