Axial diastolic pressure pullout forces on transcatheter valve stent.

Aortic Annulus size (mm) Deq-min (mm) Deq-max (mm) ΔPTAV stent (mmHg) Forcemin (N) Forcemax (N)
19 20 24 100 4.2 6.0
21 21.7 24.6 100 4.9 6.3
23 23.5 25.3 100 5.8 6.7

Footnote: Deq = equilibrium position after a 26 mm diameter TAV stent was deployed inside the aortic root. ΔPTAV stent = approximation of the pressure gradient across the TAV stent.
