Steep right anterior oblique view of self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve to timely detect stent under-expansion or non-uniform expansion before final release: a case series
Notably, the steep RAO view can visualize the THV from its short axis while eliminating parallax, allowing for accurate diagnosis of THV under-expansion particularly in patients with severe calcification in the non- or right-coronary cusp. Therefore, the steep RAO view allows timely detection of THV under-expansion before the final release, enabling THV recapture and the adoption of several management strategies.
