Imaging findings
Chest radiographs (frontal and lateral projections) show a Medtronic CoreValve device in the aortic valve position. The device has a distinct appearance, with a wider, basket-like component projecting into the coronary sinus.
Key takeaways
This case introduces the appearance of the Medtronic CoreValve transcatheter aortic valve, an alternative to the Edwards Sapien device. It is important to recognize the appearance of various TAVR devices, though their large size can initially be concerning for potential coronary artery interference.
