STUDY LIMITATIONS
Limitations of our study include the small sample size, as well as lack
of long-term follow-up. Thus, the long-term consequences of this
intervention cannot be commented on to firmly assert that this has been
a success. Longitudinal studies assessing the efficacy of this VIV TAVR
method with both Medtronic and Edwards valves are necessary to determine
if there is a benefit in the overall quality of life and mortality.
