This study investigates the hemodynamics of a dual-orifice mitral valve after mitral valve clip closure (MVCC) in patients with functional and nonfunctional mitral regurgitation (MR). If inflow velocity-time integral (VTi) of both orifices is...

This case demonstrates that TAVI complications may occur in the peri- and postprocedural periods; operators must be aware of the differentials for such complications and well-versed in their management.
