Feasibility of Coronary Access Following Redo-TAVR for Evolut Failure: A Computed Tomography Simulation Study

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Coronary accessibility following redo–transcatheter aortic valve replacement (redo-TAVR) is increasingly important, particularly in younger low-risk patients. Virtual Evolut and Sapien-3 valves were sized using CT-based diameters. Two initial Evolut implant depths were analyzed, 3 and 5 mm.
