We developed humanized biosimulator to predict the risk of coronary obstruction among high-risk patients undergoing valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures. In this case, based on unchanged instantaneous wave-free ratio values measured during a ViV simulation session, the procedure was performed safely in the patient the day afterward, without coronary artery issues and with good hemodynamic results. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
