## Abstract We describe a series of patients with suspected aortic stenosis who were noted to have a significant aortic valve gradient by Doppler echocardiography but only a minimal gradient during cardiac catheterization. Although the pressure recovery phenomenon partially explained this discrepan
A number of studies have demonstrated low transvalvular gradients and near laminar flow across the Bjork-Shiley aortic valve prosthesis.',' Despite these favorable hemodynamic characteristics, thromboembolic complications associated with this prosthesis do O C C U ~. ~, ~ More than 65 cases of throm
