abstract: We report the first known cases of successful implantation of the Edwards INTUITY (Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA) rapid-deployment valve in 3 patients with aortic stenosis presenting under emergency cardiogenic shock. At the 6-month follow-up, the 3 patients showed improved left ventricular function and improved functional capacity.
