"Three-level shock" in ablation-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

abstract：:Treatment advances for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis including transcatheter and open surgical valve replacement have improved patient survival, length of stay, and speed to recovery. However, paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) is occasionally seen and when moderate or greater in severity is associated with an at l...
