SERIAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE MITRAL STENOSIS UNDERGOING TAVR

Extensive calcification of mitral annulus (MAC) can extend into left ventricular (LV) inflow tract and onto the mitral valve leaflets, obstructing LV inflow and causing degenerative mitral stenosis (DMS). Presence of DMS in patients undergoing Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) increases
