Calcification of the device landing zone is linked to paravalvular regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The mechanisms remain incompletely understood and the performance of next-generation transcatheter heart valves (THV) has not been investigated. We evaluated the impact of calcification patterns on residual aortic regurgitation (AR) after TAVI with different THV in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
