AD, diameter of the annulus; SOVH, height of the sinus of Valsalva; STJD, diameter of the sinotubular junction; COH, height of coronary ostia. c Short-axis section of the AR model at the level of coronaries with SAVB model (yellow circular crown). SOVD, diameter of the sinus of Valsalva; VTCD, valve-to-coronary distance. d 3D printed models of the AR
Article Snippet: A self-expandable TAVI prosthesis (Portico Transcatheter Heart Valve, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) with label size 23 (2 samples) was implanted in a SAVB with externally mounted leaflets (St. Jude Trifecta Valve with Glide Technology (GT)) of label size 19 (3 samples) or 21 (3 samples), inside a rigid, 3D-printed AR model, as shown schematically in Fig. a.
