Perpendicular and turbulent flow after aortic valve replacement: paravalvular or transvalvular leakage? – a case report

Abstract Background Perpendicular transvalvular leakage (TVL) is occasionally observed after aortic valve replacement (AVR) in biological valves with a stent post, often originating from the base of the stent post. However, an observed perpendicular jet flow is not always a TVL. In rare cases, parav...
