Case 1: transesophageal echocardiography three-chamber view with color-flow Doppler (A) and aortic valve-centered short-axis view with color-flow Doppler (B) showing an eccentric, severe intraprosthetic regurgitation. (C) Explanted ACURATE Neo prosthesis with leaflet disruption with its adjacent strut in the noncoronary position (yellow asterisk).

TAVR prosthesis with severe intraprosthetic, eccentric AR (see Figures 1A,B). Transvalvular aortic gradients were slightly elevated (mean pressure gradient 18 mmHg). Intraoperative inspection of the prosthesis revealed a leaflet disruption with its adjacent strut in the noncoronary position (see Figure 1C).

Case 2: transesophageal echocardiography three-chamber view with color-flow Doppler (A) and aortic valve-centered short-axis view with color-flow Doppler (B) showing severe intraprosthetic regurgitation and partial cusp prolapse (yellow arrow) on the right coronary side, respectively. (C) Explanted ACURATE Neo prosthesis with a central tear in the leaflet in the right-coronary position (yellow asterisk).

TEE after admission at our center demonstrated a partial cusp prolapse on the right-coronary position associated with severe, eccentric AR (see Figures 2A,B). Intraoperative inspection of the prosthesis revealed a central tear in the leaflet in the right-coronary position (see Figure 2C).
