Furthermore, balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with an increased risk of annular rupture, and self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with worse post-operative residual paravalvular leakage grades. Therefore, developing an optimal method for transcatheter aortic valve replacement for patients with left ventricular outflow tract calcification is desirable.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We present two cases of successful balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement, wherein the transcatheter heart valve was implanted above the left ventricular outflow tract calcification to avoid annular rupture and paravalvular leakage, and one case each of balloon-expandable and self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacements, wherein the transcatheter heart valve was implanted at a normal height. Although annular rupture did not occur in any of the cases, more-than-mild paravalvular leakage persisted post-operatively in cases where the transcatheter heart valve was placed at a normal height.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Annular rupture is more likely to occur in areas with high calcification at the joint than in noncalcified areas. Furthermore, the greater the calcification in the landing zone of the transcatheter heart valve, the more the paravalvular leakage persists. Therefore, high implantation of transcatheter heart valves above the left ventricular outflow tract calcification can be an effective method to avoid annular rupture and paravalvular leakage.<\/jats:p>\n
