Quantification of noncircular stent expansion after TAVR into a pathological annulus and its impact on paravalvular leakage

Quantification of noncircular stent expansion after TAVR into a pathological annulus and its impact on paravalvular leakage

Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may suffer severe clinical complications, caused by paravalvular leakage (PVL) which is defined as leakage between TAVR and aortic annulus. PVL is often facilitated by a severely calcified annulus. This limits the expansion of a self-...
