title: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in unicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
abstract: Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) offers unique challenges to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), due to asymmetric expansion and apposition of the prosthesis during implantation. Although TAVR in bicuspid is now a well described experience, TAVR in unicuspid valve has not yet been described. A challenging case is described with TAVR in UAV using a Edwards Sapiens prosthesis via transapical approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
