Movie 2. Upwards pulling of the prosthesis by a loop snare attached to one of the frame loops resulting in an optimal position with diminished regurgitation. After release of tension, the valve migrates back into the too-low position (AVI 4458 kb)
Movie 4. Stepwise implantation of the second (valve-in-valve) Medtronic/CoreValve prosthesis at a higher position. (WMV 7950 kb)
