The Impact of Aortic Valvular Calcium on Transcatheter Heart Valve Distortion

Figure 3

The association of valve distortion score with paravalvular leak and aortic valvular pressure gradient. The degree of valve distortion score (VDS) was not associated with a 30-day paravalvular leak (PVL) (a) and aortic valvular pressure gradient (AVPG) (c). The VDS was also not associated with the degree of PVL (b) and AVPG (d) at 1-year follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram.
