Intentional Misalignment of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve to Preserve Reaccess to Coronaries of Anomalous Origin.

ABSTRACT

Achieving patient-specific commissural alignment of transcatheter aortic valves is particularly important to ensure coronary reaccess after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Nevertheless, in case of uncommon origin of coronary arteries, commissural alignment could be counterproductive. This case shows how alignment techniques could serve to intentionally misalign the neocommissures in this subset of patients. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
