Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current commercially available transcatheter aortic valves are stored separately in a glutaraldehyde solution and mounted onto the delivery system by a technical expert during the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. A pre-mounted dry-tissue valve that is crimped on a ready-to-use delivery system could simplify the procedure. The Vienna self-expanding transcatheter valve (P&F, GmbH, Wessling, Germany) is a novel ready-to-use pre-mounted dry-tissue transcatheter aortic valve. There are no prior reports on the efficacy of this valve system.
