Fig. 13From: Limitations and difficulties of echocardiographic short-axis assessment of paravalvular leakage after corevalve transcatheter aortic valve implantationSeverity of PVL assessed by circumferential versus radial extent. Left image shows a VARC score of 24 % versus right image 45 %. In contrast, the “area” of leakage is 1,23 cm2 versus 1,00 cm2, respectivelyBack to article page
