Evolution of vortical structure following TAVR in the aortic root and neo-sinus regions in patient #1 during diastole. (a) Mid-planar velocity of left coronary cusp neo-sinus; (b) Mid-planar velocity of right coronary cusp neo-sinus; (c) Mid-planar velocity of non-coronary cusp neo-sinus ; (d) Blood stasis volume. Pre-TAVR: severe aortic stenosis (EOA = 0.6 cm2), coronary artery disease and hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, ejection fraction: 29%, brachial pressures: 61 and 107 mmHg, forward LV stroke volume: 35 mL; Post-TAVR: aortic valve (EOA = 1.7 cm2), hypertension, moderate mitral regurgitation, diastolic dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, ejection fraction: 34%, brachial pressures: 86 and 130 mmHg, forward LV stroke volume: 62 mL.
