Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a new therapy for severe aortic stenosis in high-risk patients. So far, no reference values for the echocardiographic assessment of this new class of heart valves have been established. The aim of our study was to determine Doppler haemodynamics and the effective orifice area (EOA).
