With careful selection of the balloon and the ACURATE neo prosthesis size, very low rates of new conduction disorders and permanent pacemaker implantation may be achieved without increasing the amount of paravalvular regurgitation.

LA volumes and EF as assessed by RT3DE correlate highly with CT measurements, albeit there is some bias between the imaging modalities. Most importantly, RT3DE measurements using the novel dedicated LA analysis tool are robust in terms of observer variability and thus suitable for follow-up analyses.
