Figure 8. Operator-Independent Motion of the THV Due to Dynamic Narrowing of the LVOT.

Figure 8

In (A) the position of the transcatheter heart valve (THV) can be seen (red insert and cartoon). With balloon inflation during deployment (B), there is prominent superior motion of the THV (green insert and cartoon), which results in positioning of the THV above the annulus (yellow arrow) (Online Video 8).
