There is limited experience for the balloon expandable THV (transcatheter heart valve) on the need for predilation (ballon aortic valvuloplasty, BAV). Therefore we aim to verify results of a small case series published by Wendler et. al. to examine hard endpoints such as the incidence of cerebrovascular complications, paravalvular leakage and operative outcomes in a multicenter registry.
We aim to compare the implantation of balloon expandable transcatheter heart valves with or without predilation with respect to procedural outcomes (VARC2).
Prior to the deployment of transcatheter heart valves (THV), balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is usually performed under rapid right ventricular pacing (burst >180 bpm) with the induction of a functional cardiac arrest for up to 30 seconds. Aortic valve predilation is aiming at facilitating the crossing of the aortic annulus, accurate valve positioning and does also provide information on the anatomy of the valve complex. However, BAV has been shown to have a number of potentially detrimental effects, such as:
