Small aortic annulus poses a major challenge in aortic valve replacement due to the increased risk of prosthesispatient mismatch (PPM) and increased surgical risk. In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a popular alternative to the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement.

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which prevents the aortic leaflets from opening and closing properly. As a result, the heart must work "over time" to pump blood throughout the body. Without treatment, up to 50% of patients will die 24 months after the onset of symptoms1.

Some patients with aortic stenosis may require multiple valve interventions in their lifetime, and choosing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as the initial intervention may be appealing to many. If their transcatheter heart valve degenerates later in life, most will hope to undergo redo-TAVR.
