As one of the most frequent periprocedural complications of TAVI, paravalvular leak significantly affects the short- and long-term prognosis for patients undergoing implantation. In this paper, we analyze the most significant anatomical and procedural predictors of paravalvular leak after TAVI. %A Wilczek, Krzysztof %A Bujak, Kamil %A Reguła, Rafał %A Chodór, Piotr %A Osadnik, Tadeusz %P 89-94 %9 journal article %R 10.5114/kitp.2015.52848 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.5114/kitp.2015.52848
