Figure 1 Fluoroscopic scan using of the Medtronic Advantage 23-mm aortic valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minn). Incomplete closure of the anterior leaflet, leaving a minor gap between the ring and the leaflet edge (A). Delayed closure of the posterior leaflet standing open at approximately 90 degrees from the ring (B).
