Conclusion Evolving field, may be used in lower risk patients, bicuspid AoV ‘Criteria to screen eligible patients’ dynamic With refinement in procedures and newer improved hardware may become an attractive alternative to AVR, repeat procedure possible However for Severe symptomatic AS with low risk for surgery, AVR Sx remains the standard treatment Dr. Nithin P G
