The last three columns report the stent diameter measured from fluoroscopy, the % difference of this diameter from computational results and the clinical outcome in terms of paravalvular leakage (PVL). RCC = right coronary cusp; LCC = left coronary cusp; NCC = non-coronary cusp. *Small central leakage was detected with echocardiography.
