Implication
Multimodal paravalvular AR assessment remains essential post-TAVR; leaves open confirmation of clinical benefit with next-generation valves.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
I
Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and multimodal imaging evaluation
O
Outcome
Paravalvular aortic regurgitation
A multimodal approach combining echocardiography and hemodynamics is essential for evaluating paravalvular AR after TAVR, a complication that is decreasing with next-generation valves.
