Prognosis

≤Mild PVL

73% outcome* free survival

p < 0.05

 

> Mild PVL

17% outcome* free survival

 
 

- Composite outcome*

Mean RF 11 ± 8%

p = 0.08

 

+ Composite outcome*

Mean RF 24 ± 19%

 
  1. PVL = paravalvular leak; RF = regurgitant fraction; *Composite outcome = repeat invasive therapy, heart failure hospitalization, or death within a year of CMR.
