Figure 7 Coaxiality concept.
In this example, the aortic annulus is drawn in yellow and the device is in green. Two different C-arm angulations of the same structures are shown. If the operator selects the angulation on the left for deployment, estimation of implant depth will be more difficult as one of the structures (the device) is not coaxial. Notice that in both angulations, the annulus (yellow) is coaxial.
