Paravalvular Leak
Imaging findings
Pre-TAVI evaluation of a patient with an aortic root graft and previous valve replacement revealed an unexpected channel of contrast flowing around the prosthetic valve, indicative of a paravalvular leak.
Key takeaways
Routine pre-procedural imaging for TAVI can uncover unexpected valvular dehiscence or leaks. These findings necessitate careful review, as they fundamentally alter the surgical or interventional planning.
