Abstract
Methods Cardiac MRI (CMR) was performed on 10 patients with severe but compensated AS 3 ± 2 days prior and 10 ± 3 months post AVR and at up to 3 ± 1 years after the AVR. Semi-quantitative quantification of the grade of MR was determined. Pre and post AVR, mitral valve geometry, LV geometry, mass/volume index and function were measured and compared. >2+ AR and or structural mitral pathology were excluded.
Highlights
Mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently accompanies severe aortic stenosis (AS)

aortic valve replacement (AVR) achieves improvements in MR in severe AS that are detectable by Cardiac MRI (CMR) and remain stable in up to 4 years of follow-up
