The Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve (Figure 1) is designed for heart valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis without open-heart surgery. Physiological FEA analyses have been performed to provide an assessment of the fracture and fatigue resistance of the device during deployment and operation. The present study validates FEA frame models by comparing the crimping behavior of the FEA models with the results of crimping experiments.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a treatment alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis. As broadened indications and increasing clinical demand, the population referred for TAVR will become much more heterogeneous and anatomically challenging. Herein, we report an 88-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis and huge aortic annulus (annular area 831.8 mm2) successfully treated with overexpansion of a 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve.
