Valve implantation depth

This depth is defined as the distance from the lower edge of the valve stent device after its release to the lowest point of the NCC, which is mostly consistent with the data measured by TEE

(a) Valve implantation depth is 3.48 mm without new-onset heart block; (b) Valve implantation depth is 0.00 mm without new-onset heart block; (c) Valve implantation depth is 5.65 mm with new-onset heart block and need for PPI; (d) Valve implantation depth is 5.27 mm with new-onset heart block and need for PPI

LCC: left coronary cusp; NCC: non-coronary cusp; RCC: right coronary cusp; TEE: transesophageal echocardiography
