Endovascular aortic valve implantation has recently been proved to be feasible in aortic stenosis using either self-expandable or balloon-expandable valved stents. Future studies will try to define which patients suffering from severe aortic valve stenosis may truly benefit from endovascular valve implantation. Our first intuition as surgeons is that bicuspidy may not be a good anatomic form for endovascular valve implantation. Valvular calcification is usually exuberant and the valvular’s opening shape tends to . . . [Full Text of this Article]
