CTICasesEdwards INTUITY Elite Rapid-Deployment Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve
Imaging findings
Radiographs and CT scans show a rapid-deployment stented bioprosthetic aortic valve. The device is characterized by three conventional bioprosthetic valve commissural posts and an inferior balloon-expandable stainless steel frame extending directly into the left ventricular outflow tract.
Key takeaways
The Edwards INTUITY Elite is a hybrid rapid-deployment bioprosthetic valve designed for surgical aortic valve replacement. Because of its unique design combining a surgical pericardial valve with an expandable subannular metal frame, radiologists must be familiar with its appearance to avoid misinterpreting it as a valve-in-valve configuration.
