Assessment of the Transvalvular Pressure Gradient in Aortic Stenosis

08/01/2008

Bae et al describe the use of a pressure wire in conjunction with a 5–6 Fr guiding catheter to measure transvalvular gradients in 18 patients with aortic stenosis.1 The method is clearly technically feasible, and correlated well with...
