Stress analysis of two extreme deployed geometries of 29-mm Edwards Sapien XT using exact geometry from high-resolution scans demonstrated that peak stresses for TAV leaflets were present at commissural tips where leaflets were attached. These regions would be mostly likely to initiate degeneration.
