Abstract
85Patient-specific computer simulation to elucidate the role of contact pressure in the development of new conduction abnormalities after catheter based implantation of a self-expanding aortic valve
Highlights
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate to what extent mechanical pressure, assessed by patient-specific computer simulations, affects the conduction system after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
The extent to which pressure generated by the valve on the aortic root plays a role in the genesis of conduction abnormalities after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is unknown
On the basis of preoperative multi-slice computed tomography, a patient-specific region of the aortic root containing the atrioventricular conduction system was determined by identifying the membranous septum
Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent mechanical pressure, assessed by patient-specific computer simulations, affects the conduction system after TAVR.
