ly clinical testing for the treatment of primary AR and are equipped with an anchoring system that serves to stably and accurately position the valves in patients with predominant AR to prevent the migration and resultant perivalvular regurgitation seen in this study [3, 4]. These new platforms will expand the use of TAVR in ACHD patients to further decrease the need for repeat surgeries in this patient population. To our knowledge, this is the  rst published case of tran- scatheter deployment of an Edwards Sapien-3 valve in the aortic position in a patient with D-TGA post sta- tus arterial switch with predominant AR.
In conclusion, TAVR in patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary conduit or bioprosthet- ic valve dysfunction has become the new standard of care. These minimally invasive and e ective tech-

niques have allowed for a reduction in the number of open cardiac surgeries needed over the lifetime of a CHD patient. Advances in technology are increasing the applications of TAVR in lesions that were previ- ously only surgically treated. TAVR in ACHD patients with predominant AR is a new frontier, and the use of the newer-generation valves may prove promising.
