MAVD is prevalent among TAVR patients and presents unique challenges, with increased PVR risk and worse outcomes compared to isolated AS. Long-term survival for MAVD patients, not limited to those developing PVR post TAVR is compromised. Earlier intervention before the occurrence of structural myocardial damage or surgical valve replacement might be a potential workaround to improve outcomes.
