Figure 3. 1994: Drawings and model prefiguring a balloon expandable transcatheter bioprosthesis.

Figure 3.

A: specific stent frame design allowing to attach a tricuspid valvular structure. Partial external coverage would limit the risk of aortic regurgitation through the struts. B: Hand made model of stented-valve before and after crimping over a balloon catheter (external diameter: 8 mm). C: Drawing of the different phases of transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
