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.
