To BAV or not to BAV, that is a TAVR question

Key Points TAVR without pre‐deployment BAV appears to be a safe alternative in non‐severely calcified aortic valves Criteria to establish severity of aortic valvular calcium using CT data will aid in deciding whether a valve is a reasonable candidate for direct implantation Prospective, randomized t...

Zusammenfassung:	Key Points TAVR without pre‐deployment BAV appears to be a safe alternative in non‐severely calcified aortic valves Criteria to establish severity of aortic valvular calcium using CT data will aid in deciding whether a valve is a reasonable candidate for direct implantation Prospective, randomized trials comparing TAVR with and without pre‐deployment BAV across all commercially available valve platforms are necessary to assess the safety of direct deployment of a TAVR valve
