TCT-823 In-Vitro Assessment Of The Influence Of Oval Annuli On The Hydrodynamic Function Of Percutaneous Heart Valve Prostheses

CT- analyses of patient data show that the majority of annuli of patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis are oval in shape. Current percutaneous heart valve prostheses are circular and in-vitro tests for CE-Mark approval are only performed in circular annulus models. In an effort to create a
