Echocardiographic characteristics of paravalvular leak following surgical aortic valve replacement: a retrospective cohort study
PVL following SAVR was observed in 8.1% of cases either intraoperatively or within the first year postoperatively. The majority of PVL cases were mild in severity. The most common site of PVL was the mid-portion of the RCC at the native aortic valve position. A significant correlation was found between the location of calcification in the preoperative native valve and the site of PVL.
