Before valve im-plantation, the median right anterior oblique and lateral diameters of the stents were 26 mm (20-32 mm) and 28 mm (21-32 mm). Valve sizes were 26 mm (n=13) and 29 mm (n=64) for XT and 29 mm (n=7) for S3. In 59 patients, an additional 1-5 ml (median 2 ml) volume was added to the valves’ balloons for stabilization. In all hybrid…[Read more]
