Transcatheter aortic valve implantation can be successful in selected patients with annuli beyond the current recommended limits for available transcatheter valves. Over-expansion of balloon-expandable valves beyond current guidelines may play a role. The limits of over-expansion of balloon-expandable valves are not well understood.
