Transcatheter Aortic Valve Neo-Commissure Alignment with the Portico System.

CONCLUSIONS: Experimental tests using 3D-printed aortic root models demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of Portico neo-commissures alignment. The proposed orientation steps were reproducible and reliable in all the experimental deployments performed. Further animal and human studies are required to support the proposed concept.
