| Abstract | Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a preferred treatment modality for aortic stenosis, marking a significant advancement in cardiac interventions. Transcatheter heart valves (THVs) have also received approval for treating failed bioprosthetic valves and rings across aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonic positions. Unlike surgically implanted valves, which are sewn into the annulus, THVs are anchored through relative oversizing. Although THVs are designed to function optimally in a fully expanded state, they exhibit a certain degree of tolerance to underexpansion. However, significant deformation beyond this tolerance can adversely affect the valve's hemodynamics and durability, ultimately impacting patient outcomes. Such post-implantation deviations from the valve's intended three-dimensional design are influenced by a variety of physiological and anatomical factors unique to each patient and procedure, leading to underexpansion, eccentric expansion, and vertical deformation. These deformation patterns increase leaflet stress and strain, potentially causing fatigue and damage. This review article delves into the extent of THV deformation, its impact on leaflet function, hypoattenuating leaflet thickening, and structural valve degeneration. It provides an in-depth analysis of deformation specifics in different procedural contexts, including TAVR in native aortic stenosis, aortic and mitral valve-in-valve procedures, and redo-TAVR. Additionally, the review discusses strategies to mitigate THV deformation during the procedure, offering insights into potential solutions to these challenges. |
