ABSTRACT
The transcatheter aortic valve implantation has revolutionized the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in patients likely to have complications in the conventional surgery, particularly the elderly. However, almost all randomized clinical trials that assessed this therapeutical modality excluded patients with bicuspid aortic valve, due to the anatomic and technical particularities related to this condition. Enhanced understanding about the aspects inherent to percutaneous treatment of bicuspid aortic valve stenosis is crucial to obtain better clinical and hemodynamic results.
