Learning Objectives:
- Present a case of the clinical dilemma of treating a young patient (~65) with either TAVR/SAVR.
- Discuss lifetime management considerations of AS (pacemaker, coronary access [briefly, as this will be covered in detail above], and planning for ViV).
- Discuss anatomical considerations when deciding TAVR versus SAVR (e.g., LVOT calcium, low coronary heights, bicuspid valve, and non-TF access).
- Present a case of complex anatomy for TAVR.
- Present case conclusion.
