Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure that has become an alternative to major cardiac surgery for replacing the aortic valve. A potential serious complication during this procedure is obstruction of the major coronary blood vessels supplying the heart itself. This may occur during deployment of the prosthetic aortic valve, a process which can inadvertently lead to blockage of the opening of the arteries of the heart. We present a novel method for protecting the opening of these arteries during TAVR to reduce the risk of this complication.
