1-Month follow-up: TTE 2D ECHO; this shows continuous wave Doppler across the shunt between the aorta and RV.

TTE a month after the procedure revealed no significant change from his post-TAVR day 1 TTE (Figure 2). Therefore, we decided to continue with medical management and close follow-up, since the patient was asymptomatic.
1-Year follow-up: TTE 2D ECHO with color flow shows the residual aorto-RV shunt with a continuous wave Doppler, which demonstrates significant reduction in the velocity compared to the initial measurements.
