Compliant Aortic Annulus Sizing With Different Elliptical Ratios Through a Valvuloplasty Balloon Catheter

Conclusion: The measurement of stiffer elliptical annulus phantoms shows good accuracy and high repeatability. Significance: This work represents substantial progress toward improving the selection of TAVI devices by using balloon catheters to improve the sizing of compliant aortic annuli with complex geometry.
