Background: We investigated the relationship between intraprocedural angiographic and echocardiographic AR severity after TAVI, and the clinical robustness of angiographic assessment.Methods and Results: In 74 consecutive patients, the echocardiographic circumferential extent (CE) of the paravalvular regurgitant jet was retrospectively measured and graded based on the VARC-2 cut-points; and angiographic post-TAVI AR was retrospectively quantified using contrast videodensitometry (VD) software that calculates the ratio of the contrast time-density integral in the LV outflow tract to that in the ascending aorta (LVOT-AR). Seventy-four echocardiograms immediately after TAVI were analyzable, while 51 aortograms were analyzable for VD. These 51 echocardiograms and VD were evaluated. Median LVOT-AR across the echocardiographic AR grades was as follows: none-trace, 0.07 (IQR, 0.05-0.11); mild, 0.12 (IQR, 0.09-0.15); and moderate, 0.17 (IQR, 0.15-0.22; P
