Table 1. Overview of different types of aortic regurgitation in transcatheter valves and their pathophysiological mechanisms.
Regurgitation type | Pathophysiology |
---|---|
Transvalvular | Damage to leaflets |
Overexpansion of prosthesis | |
Paravalvular | Extensive calcification of aortic valve |
Patient/prosthesis mismatch | |
Underexpansion of prosthesis | |
Malposition of prosthesis | |
Supra-skirtal | Low implantation of prosthesis |
Design of prosthesis |
