Small aortic annulus is recognized as a critical risk factor in transcatheter aortic valve replacement, predisposing patients to prosthesis-patient mismatch. This case series examines 3 distinct anatomical subtypes of small aortic annulus patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: 1) tricuspid aortic valve morphology; 2) type 0 bicuspid aortic valve; and 3) failed surgical bioprosthesis. The analysis highlights subtype-specific technical challenges and procedural optimization strategies, emphasizing the importance of preprocedural imaging and prosthesis selection in mitigating complications.
小主动脉瓣环被认为是经导管主动脉瓣置换术的一个关键风险因素,使患者易发生人工瓣膜与患者不匹配的情况。本病例系列研究了接受经导管主动脉瓣置换术的小主动脉瓣环患者的3种不同解剖亚型:1)三尖瓣主动脉瓣形态;2)0型二叶式主动脉瓣;3)手术生物瓣膜失败。该分析突出了亚型特异性技术挑战和程序优化策略,强调了术前成像和人工瓣膜选择在减轻并发症方面的重要性。
