Intraprocedural baseline transesophageal echocardiography and echocardiographic imaging with the CoreValve THV in situ. a Long-axis view showing heavily stenosed aortic valve. b Short-axis imaging showing a calcified and stenosed aortic valve in systole with poor leaflet opening and small aortic valve opening area. c Transesophageal long-axis view showing the CoreValve THV frame with the inflow portion positioned in the left ventricular outflow tract/aortic annulus and the outflow (wider frame) within the aortic root/proximal ascending aorta. d Transesophageal short-axis view showing inflow of the device frame in position within the left ventricular outflow tract
