Take a peek at our first publication of the new year! ❗️ Pannus can pose challenges for TMViV procedures. ❗️“watermelon seeding” phenomenon. ❗️ In our case, THV migrated ventricularly. ❗️ Another THV deployed to prevent embolization. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… JACC Journals

Postdilatation using the same THV system balloon at the same volume (double tap) does work. Here, we highlight the potential benefit of the double tap technique to treat PVL and improve THV expansion in high-risk annuli.

Failed 21 mm Magna Ease, severe LFLG AS. ViV TAVR using an Acurate Neo2. Postdilated with a NC balloon (high pressure technique aiming to crack the surgical valve). Impressive hemodynamics (MG 8 mmHg) post ViV TAVR. Key is to ensure proper expansion with this platform.

Small bioprosthesis (21mm Magna Ease, True ID 19mm). Elected to use a supra-annular THV platform for better hemodynamics. Also, patient has concomitant CAD. Wanted to preserve coronary access for potential future PCI.

Solution 💡 • The commissural post of the S3 is easily recognizable on fluoro, and its height is fixed and not altered by the degree of THV underexpansion. • Height of the commissural post is pre identified using micro CT, and then used for fluoroscopic calibration.

A strategy of routine postdilatation at nominal volume (double tap) post BE-TAVR resulted in improved THV expansion with no safety concerns! Our paper is now out EuroIntervention eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/routin…

A “double-tap” strategy after balloon-expandable TAVI improved valve expansion without increasing procedural risk. In selected anatomies, this approach achieved greater stent expansion and remained safe at 30 days. Julius Jelisejevas, MD ; Jonathon Leipsic ; Stephanie Sellers ; David Meier
