Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard of care for extreme surgical risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease and may lead to aortic stenosis. However, because of this specific anatomic characteristics randomized studies to date have excluded patients with BAV. Noncalcified or predominant aortic regurgitation has typically been considered a contraindication for TAVI due to the risk of valve dislocation and a consequence of insufficient anchoring.

This paper gives an overview of bicuspide aortic valve stenosis and predominant aortic regurgitation, two „off-label“ indications for TAVI.
