Abstract:Background
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. However, there is limited knowledge on the material properties of the aortic root in TAVI patients, and this can impact the credibility of computer simulations. This study aimed to develop a non-invasive inverse approach for estimating reliable material constituents for the aortic root and calcified valve leaflets in patients undergoing TAVI.
