Abstract

Paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) is a major complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the incidence of moderate to severe PAR reported with the early generation of aortic transcatheter valves varied between 12% and 21%, the last generation of valves decreased the incidence of moderate to severe PAR to 1–5%. Assessment of PAR is difficult due to the presence of multiple jets and irregular orifices of regurgitation. Recent grading classifications have improved the quality and coherence of reports evaluating residual PAR after TAVI. Since moderate or severe PAR has been consistently associated with increased mortality, systematic evaluation of PAR is mandatory. Various solutions for reducing residual PAR exist: post-dilation, implantation of a second valve, or percutaneous closure.
