Investigations of flow alteration of commissural misalignment of TAVR using Particle Image Velocimetry

Due to the raising number of TAVR implantations (transcatheter aortic valve replacement), tests for durability and prevention of associated diseases are becoming increasingly important. Not only the anatomy but also the positioning of the TAVR is decisive for its clinical performance. A misalignment...

description Due to the raising number of TAVR implantations (transcatheter aortic valve replacement), tests for durability and prevention of associated diseases are becoming increasingly important.
