QUANTITATIVE AORTOGRAPHY FOR ASSESSMENT OF AORTIC REGURGITATION IN THE ERA OF PERCUTANEOUS AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Quantitative aortography for assessment of aortic regurgitation in the era of percutaneous aortic valve replacement

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a shortcoming that can erode the clinical benefits of transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) and therefore a readily applicable method (aortography) to quantitate PVL objectively and accurately Beauty in the interventional suite is appealing to all operators.The ratio between the areas of the time-density curves in the ao
