  Figure 1 Computed tomography findings of aortic valve. Computed tomography showing heavily calcified leaflets at the sinus Valsalva level (A) and annulus measuring perimeter and area (B).LCC = left coronary cusp; NCC = non-coronary cusp; RCC = right coronary cusp.

  Figure 2 Computed tomography showing the annular rupture on transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Dye leakage is observed in the rupture site on the left coronary cusp side connected to the pericardial space in the perpendicular valve view (A) and en-face valve view (B) (yellow arrows). After coil embolization, no leakage was observed in the perpendicular valve view (C) and in the en-face valve view (D).LA = left atrium; LM = left main; LV = left ventricle; PA = pulmonary artery; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle.
