Photographs of stented, stentless, and percutaneous biologic valves (1A, 2A, 3A) and corresponding TEE images in diastole (1B, 2B, 3B) and in systole (1C, 2C, 3C). The stentless valve is inserted by the root inclusion technique. Mild perivalvular AR with the percutaneous valve is shown by arrow. Videos 7 to 10 show the valve motion and color Doppler flow pattern of these valves:
