%X Objective
To describe the initial experience with direct implantation of a CoreValveTM selfexpanding
aortic valve prosthesis in a tertiary cardiovascular care center from
Argentina.
Methods
From May to December 2010, 21 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis
(SAS) and high surgical riskwere included to undergo percutaneous aortic valve
replacement with a CoreValveTM prosthesis. The inclusion criteria were the
following: aortic valve area <1 cm2 (<0.6 cm2/m2); aortic annulus diameter of 20-
27 mm; ascending aorta diameterat the level of the sinotubular junction ≤ 40 (small
prosthesis) or ≤ 43 mm (large prosthesis), and femoral artery diameter >6 mm.
