Paravalvular leakage of transcatheter aortic valve replacements depending on aortic annulus calcification

Paravalvular leakage (PVL) has a crucial impact on clinical outcomes of transcateheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), especially the mortality increases dramatically with high-grade PVL. Furthermore, the calcification of the aortic annulus has a decisive influence on the PVL of TAVR. Therefore, w...
